PROJECT DETAILS
- Geothermal Heat Pumps
The geothermal system at the Nicandri Nature Center has twenty 225’ wells installed at a depth of 30ft below grade and features a packaged energy recovery ventilator, water-source heat pumps, and a water-to-water heat pump. The system provides year-round cooling and heating for the visitor center.
When the former visitor’s center at Robert Moses State Park needed replacement due to a fire, the State took the opportunity to advance green energy initiatives in the design of the new building. The new Nicandri Nature Center has green-building design features to achieve a Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Silver certification.
