Geothermal Energy Development in the Eastern United States. Technical Assistance Report No. 4, Geothermal Space Heating-Pittsville Middle/Elementary School, Pittsville, Maryland

摘要

A feasibility study to evaluate the prospects of geothermal space heating the middle/elementary school at Pittsville, located in the Eastern Shore region of Maryland was conducted. The old school building was undergoing a major rebuilding program, while the elementary school wing was just to have insulation added. Two cases were examined; both provided a production and reinjection well. One case evaluated a geothermal heating system sized for the new construction of the main school building. The other case examined retrofitting the elementary school wing existing heating system combined with the new construction of the main school building.
