The district decided to solve the problem by equipping the schools with sustainable HVAC systems using geothermal technology. The energy efficient solution is expected to provide students with a better education experience, via a quiet environment, while simultaneously reducing the district\u2019s utility bills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe work every day to conserve energy,\u201d said Morris Reeves, the district\u2019s energy manager. \u201cEnergy conserved is more money for the classroom\u2014that is what we are all about. Ultimately, we want to improve the teaching environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With 10 schools to renovate, the district opted to work on one facility per summer. In 2012, they set their sights on Central Elementary School, a 3252-m<sup>2<\/sup> (35,000-sf) building located in the center of Dodge City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Central] is a two-story brick building constructed in 1927, and the original coal-fired furnace and forced air system was converted to natural gas in the 1940s or \u201950s,\u201d said Reeves. \u201cIn 1994, the school got window air conditioning units; before that there was no air conditioning. By 2012, the window units were well beyond their lifespan, and they were noisy and not very efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Central, the goal of saving both money and energy turned the district\u2019s attention toward pairing water-source variable refrigerant flow (VRF) and geothermal technology. The energy-efficient and discreet operation of VRF would offer the school reduced energy usage and increased comfort for students and teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Drew Rose, an electrical engineer with Wichita-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iconengineers.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Integrated Consulting Engineers<\/a> (ICE), served as the project manager and designer for the project. He cited the importance of zoning and control in achieving occupant comfort and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65948\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65948\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Classroom_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-65948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Classroom_resize.jpg\" alt=\"The facility\u2019s new water-source variable refrigerant flow system was installed over the summer break and operational by the time classes resumed.\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Classroom_resize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Classroom_resize-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Classroom_resize-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Classroom_resize-500x418.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The facility\u2019s new water-source variable refrigerant flow system was installed over the summer break and operational by the time classes resumed.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWith the previous system, the control was on or off\u2014no thermostat, no setpoint,\u201d Rose said. \u201cWe needed efficient cooling and heating in these spaces, which meant we needed increased zoning and better control. VRF offers true zoning and excellent control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris Meyer, the district\u2019s maintenance manager, praised the easy installation of VRFs when compared to other options, especially when putting the system in an existing building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the walls in Central are up to 0.6 m (2 ft) thick, so getting ducts through the walls without damaging the structure would have been impossible,\u201d said Meyer.<\/p>\n<p>The installation team began work over the summer break.
