However, it involves significant planning, coordination, buy-in, and extensive workforce power to make it happen. The discussion will focus on the establishment of the initiative and the annual implementation process and procedures. Indu will discuss the hurdles to implementation ranging from technical limitations to complaints from inconvenienced occupants.

Jim Lowe, PE, Director of Engineering, Construction, and Operations, at Ball State University will discuss the college's conversion of its campus from a coal-fired steam boiler district heating system to a ground source geothermal district system that simultaneously produces hot water for heating and chilled water for cooling. This system will include the installation of 3,600 vertical closed loop boreholes making it the largest ground source geothermal district system in the country. Jim will discuss the current heating and cooling operation and explain how the new geothermal heating and cooling system is being implemented.
