Energy ImprovementsRenovation of the terminal provide will allow substantial improvements in the energy efficiency of the building. The project will increase insulation in the roof and exterior walls and replace lighting with new energy efficient lamps and fixtures. Most notably, a new system of heating and cooling the building will be installed. It transfers geothermal energy from the earth into a liquid filled piping loop that provides heating and cooling to interior spaces through the use of heat pumps. This system will allow the building to replace oil heating fuel with a renewable, clean energy source.While initially more costly to install, the expected energy savings make it worthwhile.
