Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (Building Integrated PV) - $115,000
Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (LEED Gold) - $150,000
Illinois Dept of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (Geothermal) - $420,000 ARRA funding - 26% of geothermal installation cost
Earth absorbs 50% of all solar energy
Heat is stored in the earth
Remains a constant temperature below the frost line
Uses constant temperature to exchange energy between your building and the earth
Geothermal Systems: The Basics
System Applications at Rock Valley College
164 vertical well bores
370’ deep
420 tons cooling capacity

Chilled Beam System
Chilled beams were used to handle sensible load
Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) provided ventilation air and all latent capacity
Saved over 45% of airflow using chilled beams and DOAS over traditional VAV
Chilled Beam System
Utilized chilled beams in over 60% of spaces
Areas without chilled beams included:
Mechanical/Electrical Rooms Select Corridors Restrooms, Janitor Closets Lab Spaces with high ACH
requirements Greenhouse
Chilled Beam/DOAS VAV
Ground Floor Layout
First Floor Layout
Chilled Beam/DOAS VAV
DOAS Unit
DOAS Psychometrics
Humidity Control
Aggressive humidity control at DOAS
Dewpoint sensors in areas of concern
Zone control valves close when dewpoint rises above the setpoint
Chilled Water Loop
Energy Results
LEED Implications
Optimize Energy: pursing 19 points
Enhanced Refrigerant Management: pursuing 2 points
Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control:
eligible with November 2010 addenda
Controllability of Systems – Thermal Comfort:
pursuing 1 point
Lessons Learned
Many buildings require a hybrid system approach to best meet the building needs
Primary airflow requirements can vary widely based on latent load
Dry supply air can significantly reduce air handler unit size and potentially reduce first cost
Consider demand control ventilation for additional fan energy savings
