Capitol Engineering Group designed a 200-ton geothermal cooling system for Potomac Job Corps, providing energy-efficient climate control for dormitories and cafeteria on the Washington, DC campus.

Capitol Engineering Group conducted a detailed study and designed a 200-ton geothermal cooling system for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Potomac Job Corps campus in Washington, DC. The project focused on providing efficient and sustainable climate control for several dormitories and the cafeteria. The geothermal system was chosen for its environmental benefits and energy efficiency, offering a reliable, low-cost alternative to traditional HVAC systems. The design incorporated advanced techniques to ensure optimal performance and comfort for the students and staff at the campus, while reducing long-term energy consumption and operating costs. The project also addressed the integration of the geothermal system into the campus's existing infrastructure, ensuring minimal disruption during installation and maximizing system longevity.
