Procurement Options for Low Temperature Geothermal Technologies at Federal Facilities

Publicly accessible License

Included here are access links to a report on procurement options for low temperature geothermal technologies at federal facilities from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Federal agencies are moving towards more efficient and resilient facilities by increasingly implementing energy projects in an effort to meet federally mandated goals, agency needs, and administration priorities. Low temperature geothermal technologies, which include geothermal heat pumps (GHP) and district heating systems, can contribute to meeting these goals. These technologies provide facilities with heating and cooling while reducing facility energy use and improving resilience. However, in order to implement these solutions, federal facilities must identify and execute a strategy for the procurement of these technologies. Federal facilities have successfully completed energy efficiency projects using a variety of procurement options. The purpose of this document is to provide federal agencies with a comprehensive overview of the procurement options available for low temperature geothermal technologies and other energy efficiency projects. The procurement options discussed include third-party financing mechanisms such as energy saving performance contracts (ESPCs), ESPC energy sales agreements (ESPC ESAs), and utility energy service contracts (UESCs), as well as dedicated funds in the form of federal grants and appropriated funds.
