В Ромулусе утвердили проект энергоэффективности школы без негативного экологического воздействия

ROMULUS — School district officials have determined an energy and capital improvement project will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The so-called negative declaration is part of the state’s required environmental review process. The project involves the installation of a closed-loop geothermal system consisting of about 140 wells that are six inches wide and 400 feet deep. They will be used to extract water to heat and cool the Route 96 school building. The project also involves new second-floor air conditioning and general AC system upgrades; interior renovations that include improvements to the high school gym locker rooms, a technology suite, a main-entry office, and kitchen facilities; replacement of leaking crawlspace piping and insulation; mitigation of crawlspace plumbing and moisture issues through improved ventilation; and full replacement of the existing elevator and lift system.
