The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to administer Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) to the City of Saint Paul to design, construct, and commission a geothermal energy system at the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory (Zoo) in Saint Paul, MN. The proposed project would remove the 18,540 square-foot Primates Building from the Zoo’s centralized gas-powered steam boiler system by transitioning to a building-level hydro geothermal system for heating and cooling.
