RECORD HEAT WAVE ?? NO STRESS, WITH A GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMP, YOU CAN STAY COOL & SAVE $$$
The sizzling temperatures aren’t bothering students at Oakdale Elementary School, nor do they affect staff working at Olympia North Elementary School in Danvers, Illinois. Both buildings are in school districts that pioneer use of geothermal energy systems, using heat pump systems and energy from the ground to heat and cool the buildings.
Unit 5 of the McLean County, Illinois school district has geothermal systems in 10 schools, including its three newest, ridding the district of “have and have-not” schools where poor heating or no air conditioning might affect learning. Each classroom has its own control switch and heat pump, so one room could have heat, another air conditioning and another open windows.
... Geothermal technology and other energy-saving practices are saving the school district about $1 million a year. Unit 5 paid about $3 million in utilities in 2004-2005. The cost remained the same in 2011-12, despite three new schools, about 2,200 more students, more staff and rising energy costs.
