central plant. The traditional distribution method of heating has been steam primarily due to the compact size of piping. The use of GSHPs when applied to a district energy system allows for energy efficiency improvement, even providing means of totally electrifying the heating and cooling source. PV and/or wind power can be used directly within a campus grid. This seminar explores how that conversion can be accomplished and opens the pathway for decarbonization.
