LINCOLN, NE — According to the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), the first geothermal system installed in the state of Nebraska was back in July of 1999, for the United States Parcel Service (USPS), Northview Carrier Annex, located here.
FEMP says the system demonstrates that geothermal hvac equipment can replace boiler and chiller applications in a facility without altering its interior design. Currently, the USPS, Kansas City Facilities Service Office, and the Lincoln Utility Company, is monitoring the Northview facility to track its energy savings. Energy usage is also being monitored at the Lincoln Cheney Ridge Carrier Annex, also located in Lincoln, NE. This facility was completed in 1998 and is equipped with a conventional hvac system.
