While initial costs come at a slight premium over <br />conventional systems, the on -going operational cost savings (30 -35% annually) and the speed at which the premium capital cost is recovered, outweigh the initially more expensive installation. For <br />example, the Justice Facility, whose system has been in use since 2008, is on track to recoup the premium cost by 2016 and is experiencing a 30% savings in annual heating and cooling costs. The <br />Link Government Services Center geothermal project was completed in 2012 and is realizing energy reductions similar to the Justice Center. The Link Center project was partially funded by ARRA <br />grant funds. The system was sized in a manner that will accommodate any future development of the north end of the first floor. The remaining components of the Community Geothermal Project, <br />approved for funding in 2012/13, are currently under construction, will serve the remaining facilities on the "East Campus ", including the Jail, District Attorney's office, Historic Courthouse, and the <br />Court Street Annex. Completion is expected no later than June 30, 2014. Staff will continue to investigate opportunities for grant funding for future geo - thermal projects. If grant funds become <br />available, project timelines may move up. Requested funds for Hillsborough Commons and 503 West Franklin are for replacement of existing equipment. Geo- thermal is not possible at these <br />locations due to Hillsborough Commons being a leased facility, and space restraints at 503 West Franklin. Geo - thermal to serve the Southern Human Services Center may be included as part of <br />the Southern Campus development project. $75,000 has been added for SHSC for FY 15 -16 for possible needed replacement of a rooftop unit, in the event replacement becomes necessary prior <br />to system replacement with geo - thermal. New funding has also been included this year for replacement of the chiller located at the Whitted Human Services Center, which is nearing the end of its <br />useful life, earlier than average for this type of equipment. <br />27 <br />
