Home » Geothermal System Gets Efficiency Boost At College Science Center
Saint Vincent College, located on a 200-acre campus just 40 miles outside of Pittsburgh, places environmental stewardship as a top priority. Central to this belief is energy efficiency and sustainability, which are demonstrated in a recent renovation and construction project which included the 57,000-sq-ft addition to its Sis and Herman Dupré Science Pavilion.
According to Saint Vincent College, the goal for the LEED® gold-certified facility was to make “improvements to the quality of the site, reduce water and energy consumption, and use materials which reduce the impact on the environment whilst providing a healthy and safe place for faculty members and students to work.” One of the unique components of this design is a custom geothermal heating and cooling system.
