Geothermal heat pumps can be great alternatives to air conditioners and furnaces, and require less electricity to run. This case study focuses on Berkeley County School District and is part of a series: https://www.energy.gov/eere/geothermal/geothermal-heat-pump-case-studies.
The primary objective of this project was to focus on conducting the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Level 2 Energy Audits of all the schools/school facilities in the portfolio, and on developing a comprehensive Strategic Plan for implementing energy improvements. The overall aim of budget period 1 (BP1) was to implement Energy Audits and the Strategic Plan to provide a clear pathway to prioritize energy improvements as well as allow the district to access private sector funding (if needed) and/or tax credits and realize high-impact health and safety benefits for Budget Period 2.

Interest in very low energy buildings is growing across the United States. California, for example, has adopted ZE targets for 50% of the floor area of existing state-owned buildings by 2025 and for all new or renovated state buildings beginning design after 2025. California has also set a target of making all new commercial buildings ZE by 2030. Several other states are considering similar measures and have established task forces to work on the issue.
