DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Chicago Field Office, Dallas Support Office
Grant and Cooperative Agreement Awards: Oklahoma State University
AGENCY: Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Chicago Field Office, through
the Dallas Support Office, announces that it intends to award a grant
to Oklahoma State University (OSU)/International Ground Source Heat
Pump Association (IGSHPA). The proposed award meets the criteria in 10
CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(B) in addition to the type of factors listed in 10
CFR 600.14(d). The financial assistance is for support of the
Geothermal Heating and Cooling Teleconference '94 and '95.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Geothermal Heating and Cooling
Teleconference '94 and '95 are the most significant national
teleconferences concentrating on the use of ground source heat pumps as
an energy efficient method of heating and cooling buildings. The
primary target audiences for these teleconferences are school
buildings, residences and government buildings. These buildings have
unique needs for heating, cooling and water heating. Advances in ground
source heat pump efficiency and installation techniques, as well as
reductions in installation costs, make the cost of this technology
comparable with those of competitive heating and cooling technologies,
while operating costs and energy usage are demonstrably lower. This is
especially important for institutional and government facilities faced
with budget constraints and increasing utility expenditures. These
teleconferences, which will include successful case studies and
interviews with designers, technical experts and representatives of the
various targeted audiences, will provide information on a economical,
energy efficient and environmentally beneficial method for heating and
cooling facilities. DOE's mission of increasing energy efficiency in
the institutional, residential and governmental sectors will be
advanced through participation in the teleconference. The DOE
anticipates providing funds in the amount of $30,000 for each of the
two teleconferences over a project period of 24 months.
