GROUND-SOURCE HEAT PUMP DESIGN
GEOTHERMAL HVAC SCHOOL PROJECTS
Featured Project:
Midway High School Selected as High Performance
School to be featured in CEFPI 2004 Symposium
Midway High School has recently been selected as the lead project for CEFPI's (Council of Educational Facility Planner: International)
2004 High Performance School Symposium. The focus of the symposium will be on sustainable elements such as site, daylighting, material uses,
and life cycle costs in diverse climate zones. The extensive use of daylighting and high performance material combined with one of the
largest geothermal school installations in the nation earned Midway High School this distinct honor. Midway High School is one of only six
schools from across the U.S. to be featured during the symposium.
