Schools That Include Geothermal Systems

These MSBA projects include a geothermal ground source heat pump system. Virtually all MSBA new construction projects either include photovoltaic systems in the project, are designed to have photovoltaics purchased later by the district, or photovoltaics are installed through a Power-Purchase Agreement by the district after construction. Many projects that include geothermal wells also include photovoltaic panels.
