Leadership in
Energy &
Environmental
Design
Upon completion, Rock Valley College will likely be
the first community college in Illinois to have two
LEED Gold projects on its campus.
Closed-Loop Geothermal System
•
The closed-loop Geothermal system include (8) water-cooled heat pump units, primarily loop water pumps, a 164
vertical well geothermal bore field, and associated piping. This system will work to create jobs, reduce energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and leverage grant funding in a learning environment that can
promote these initiatives to future generations.
•
ADVANTAGES
•
•
•
•
•
More efficient than the existing central heating and chiller water plant
Places the project in a better position to obtain LEED Gold Certification than more traditional systems
Excess capacity will be shared with CL-I building
Supports the College’s long standing “green” philosophy
Can be used as a teaching tool for sustainable design
