To reduce energy consumption in the Federal buildings governments especially of United States spends millions of dollars annually. The building which has geothermal pump installed in it saves up to forty percent of the energy. Geothermal energy can provide significant savings in the consumption of Energy in Federal Buildings. Including offices, buildings, housing, medical facilities, and schools, training facilities, communication facilities and even court houses too. Geo thermal energy resources are installed in every type of administrative building lately. Approximately 7,500 Geothermal pumps are installed in the administrative buildings up till now. The target is to install ten thousand Geo thermal pumps in the federal facilities. The reasons for the Federal facilities to use Geothermal Pumps so widely are as follows:

Federal Facility managers find it easy to get assistance in financing, designing, installing, and maintenance too. The Geothermal equipment can be obtained at a low cost through the agency of Energy savings performance Contracts and also through the Energy service companies. So there is a tremendous increase in the use of Geothermal Pumps in Federal Buildings. Finances are also available through various other agencies plus the federal system has the facility of contracting vehicles fro the implementation of Geothermal Pumps projects.

The advantages of Geothermal Pump Systems are also responsible for federal governments to opt for the GHP systems. They are as follows:

Lower maintenance costs and easier to out source maintenance tasks

Lowest Life cycle cost in most of the applications

Quiet in operation so comfortable for the occupants of the building.

Flexibility in design which is present is appropriate for the new construction retrofits.

Energy cost reduction to about 20 percent to forty percent.

Less mechanical space is occupied by this instrument.

Free hot water available

Eliminates corrosion due to salt water environments completely.

Now widely used in historical buildings to conceal HVAC equipment.

Rooftop equipment is not required.

Even private financing is available for up front costs of retrofits no appropriations needed for the financing.

Even if you consider all the mechanical systems of Geothermal Source of energy it consumes less energy then the Conventional systems.
