West Chester University (WCU) would install twin high density polyethylene geo-exchange distribution supply/return piping that would extend existing mains and connect to several campus buildings. In addition, a pump house would be built to move geo-exchange water through the well field and to the buildings capable of using it. Some of these buildings would be converted to geo-exchange heating and cooling as well. New wells would be drilled to support the extra building loads.
