AEE Indiana Update
Local Education
Since it appears most of the
“action” in energy efficiency
and education seems to
happen in other locations, it
would be a nice touch to
highlight the several options
(both permanent and
temporary) that we have here
in our region.
Let’s start with Indiana.
Purdue University has an
excellent program to help
train and educate regarding
energy efficiency and
sustainability. This program
is managed by the Purdue
University Technical
Assistance Program (TAP).
TAP offers numerous
education programs for
manufacturing and
commercial facility and
energy managers to assist in
learning energy efficiency
basics as well as specific end
use opportunities to reduce
consumption. More
information can be found at
www.mep.purdue.edu.
The Lugar Center for
Renewable Energy at IUPUI
also offers opportunities for
additional education for
energy and sustainability
topics. Located at the central
Indianapolis campus, this
center combines proximity of
stakeholders with an
extensive network of
sponsors and resources to
help impact energy efficiency
in the Midwest. To learn
more, visit
www.lugarenergycenter.iup
ui.edu
Of course our own
organization, AEE, is
dedicated to the furthering
of energy education and we
have a wonderful
opportunity to connect
with the largest collection
of experts and courses in
one place and its right here
in our back yard. WEEC is
being hosted at Navy Pier
in Chicago from 10/11—13
and offers us a front row
seat to the leading topics of
the day. Take advantage of
this opportunity since it is
so near. To learn more or
register, go to
www.energycongress.com.
Don’t let this opportunity
pass you. WEEC may not
be this close for several
years.

AEE Indiana Chapter Meeting Notes
Geothermal Applications
The September meeting featured a robust discussion
of geothermal loop applications and was presented by
Kris Kyler of Indiana Geothermal. The meeting was
held at BSA Building in North Indianapolis and was
hosted both in-person as well as via a Internet using
newly available webcast options for the Chapter.
•
Pond Loop methods
require about 300’ per
ton and needs to have
a minimum depth of
8’ of water.
Additionally these
systems require reverse
returns and are
standard installation
in Central Indiana.
•
Horizontal/Directional
bores require about 200’
per ton and cause the
least amount of property
disturbance. Technology
used is very similar to
what natural gas and
cable companies use to
avoid trenching.
•
Vertical bores require about 150’
per ton and are the best for space
contained locations. However,
this is the most expensive method
of installing pipe.
The presentation featured discussion of the most
prevalent geothermal loop installations with many
photos of job site activities. Some of the basics of
geothermal systems include:
•
Geothermal HVAC has been in use since 1912
•
Currently installed geothermal systems save
approximately 14 million barrels of crude oil per
year.
•
Systems use the steady nature of the medium
temperature (earth or water) to draw or discard
heat for the system.
Kris presented the various types of installed systems
including:
•
•
Traditional 6 Pipe
installation which
provides about 1 ton
of cooling per 600’
and requires double
backfill in the
trench. This method
is no longer favored
in Indiana
Modified 6 Pipe
installation which
provides about 1
ton per 600’ and
requires single
backfill for the
trench. This
method is the
current preferred
method in Indiana.
Kris also shared several examples of
testing activities and vault systems
used to contain the control and valve
mechanisms.
The presentation focused added attention for the issues of
concern during the
loop installation. The
full presentation can
be found on the
Chapter website. If
you have additional
questions, you can
contact Kris directly
at [email protected] or
via phone at (317)
829-1490.
