Case Study: Lockerbie Terrace Case Study: Lockerbie Terrace

This case study describes energy efficiency upgrades made to the heating and cooling system at Lockerbie Terrace, an apartment complex in Indianapolis. The complex originally used a central steam boiler for heating but experienced high energy costs. Engineers redesigned the piping for the building's geothermal heat pumps to allow for independent zone control. This improved system reduced the building's annual energy costs from $60,000 in 2015 to under $20,000 in 2017 by switching to electric heat pumps and optimizing the piping design.
