University science buildings are typically the highest net energy users on a campus. This project combined a centralized geothermal heating/cooling plant, a dedicated outside air system, active chilled beams, thermally-massive radiant heating/cooling and self-learning adaptive controls. The system is designed to use geothermal loop water directly for sensible cooling without needing a chiller. A magnetic-bearing chiller provides chilled water for the dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) unit and hot water for heating. Net onsite energy consumption for the first year of operation was 64 KBTU per square foot.
