Community Geothermal: Planning and Design of a Heating and Cooling System in Framingham, Massachusetts
These reports, plans, and drawings review the achievements of Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET) and its partners to plan and design a network of interconnected ground-source heat pump systems, or geothermal network, in an area encompassing multiple environmental justice (EJ) neighborhoods in the City of Framingham, MA. The materials provided in this dataset include, a) stakeholder and design best practices, b) study on optimal method to interconnect geothermal loops, c) guidelines for monitoring and metering, d) operations and maintenance plans, e) permitting guidelines and f) 10-day driller tutorial curriculum. These materials can guide the efficient and ethical design of future geothermal networks nationwide. The capacity of the system is estimated at 217 tons and is designed to provide 100% of heating and cooling needs for the buildings connected to the loop. In this project, 80 boreholes are used as the main thermal resources, the distribution system (or loop) consists of 0.61 miles of an 8-inch single-pipe at ambient temperature, with the capacity to connect 44 buildings, including 13 apartment buildings from the Framingham Housing Authority, one transitional home, one school building and 29 single family homes. While Framingham already has a geothermal network loop that is currently in the commissioning stage, our proposed project is unique because it is the first utility-led expansion loop (2nd loop) project that will connect to an adjacent existing geothermal loop (1st loop) in a pre-existing neighborhood. Both the 1st and 2nd loops are being installed, owned and operated by Eversource Energy, the utility Deployment Partner.

Community Geothermal: Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Design Report and Drawings - Wallingford, CT
공공데이터포털
Included here are the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design report and drawings for the proposed community geothermal system at an affordable housing complex in Wallingford, Connecticut. The report and drawings were developed by LN Consulting, in partnership with the University of Connecticut, which completed the energy modeling that formed the basis of the design work. The drawings can be used as a basis for a Request for Proposals to procure entities to complete construction-ready design documents.
Community Geothermal: Thermal Conductivity Test and Data Analysis Report - Wallingford, CT
공공데이터포털
Report on a formation thermal conductivity test that was performed on the geothermal test bore at Ulbrich Heights at 38 Louis Circle Lane in Wallingford, Connecticut. Data are applicable only within the Wallingford region and should not be extrapolated for other climatic and geographic regions. The analysis assumes no systemic defects in the borehole prior to and during installing and testing. A graphite and Bentonite grouting mixture was assumed to be consistent throughout borehole length. These data were collected as part of the Community Geothermal Heating and Cooling Design and Deployment Grant Program. This associated project's goal is to design and develop a district geothermal heating and cooling system that will serve at least 50% of the heating and cooling load of a 132-unit, affordable housing complex in Wallingford, CT. The project is led by Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). Borehole drilling and thermal conductivity testing were conducted by Connecticut Wells Inc. and data were analyzed by Geothermal Resource Technologies Inc. (GRTI).

Community Geothermal: Energy, Cost, and Carbon Modeling for District Design - Ann Arbor, MI
공공데이터포털
This data includes results on an analysis of existing and projected energy, cost, and carbon for the City of Ann Arbor - District Geothermal Design and Deployment to Equitably Decarbonize Low Income Neighborhoods in Ann Arbor project. The scope of the project includes designing and implementing a geothermal district heating and cooling system that reduces thermal heating and cooling load by 75% and greenhouse gas emissions by 40% in the project area (262 households, 6 commercial buildings). The existing neighborhood was modeled using Design Builder, an EnergyPlus software, to understand the current energy load. The energy model was then flipped to reflect the designed district geothermal heating and cooling system to project the effect on energy, carbon, and cost. This dataset includes the analysis files utilized and created for this study. There are 3 categories of data: 1) existing/benchmarking, 2) energy modeling, and 3) post processed calculations. This follows the methodology and process of the project team, which is fully explained in file 00_Technical Economic Environmental Assessment. All uses of data are referenced throughout this assessment to their respective files included below.
Community Geothermal: Connecticut Workforce Needs Assessment Report and Data
공공데이터포털
Included here is a geothermal industry workforce needs assessment report for Connecticut. As part of the DOE-funded Community Geothermal Heating and Cooling Design and Deployment grant, Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnership (NEEP) conducted several online surveys to gain a better understanding of the current geothermal workforce in Connecticut as well as gaps and needs that can be addressed to better support the geothermal workforce. The surveys also looked into training opportunities for geothermal in Connecticut. Attached here is the needs assessment report that was produced from the surveys. The report's appendix includes all survey results from facility managers, training centers, as well as drillers, installers, manufacturers, and engineers. The names of respondents have been redacted.
