Grant and Cooperative Agreement Awards: Oklahoma State University

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Chicago Field Office, through 
the Dallas Support Office, announces that it intends to award a grant 
to Oklahoma State University (OSU)/International Ground Source Heat 
Pump Association (IGSHPA). The proposed award meets the criteria in 10 
CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(B) in addition to the type of factors listed in 10 
CFR 600.14(d). The financial assistance is for support of the 
Geothermal Heating and Cooling Teleconference '94 and '95.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Geothermal Heating and Cooling 
Teleconference '94 and '95 are the most significant national 
teleconferences concentrating on the use of ground source heat pumps as 
an energy efficient method of heating and cooling buildings. The 
primary target audiences for these teleconferences are school 
buildings, residences and government buildings. These buildings have 
unique needs for heating, cooling and water heating. Advances in ground 
source heat pump efficiency and installation techniques, as well as 
reductions in installation costs, make the cost of this technology 
comparable with those of competitive heating and cooling technologies, 
while operating costs and energy usage are demonstrably lower. This is 
especially important for institutional and government facilities faced 
with budget constraints and increasing utility expenditures. These 
teleconferences, which will include successful case studies and 
interviews with designers, technical experts and representatives of the 
various targeted audiences, will provide information on a economical, 
energy efficient and environmentally beneficial method for heating and 
cooling facilities. DOE's mission of increasing energy efficiency in 
the institutional, residential and governmental sectors will be 
advanced through participation in the teleconference. The DOE 
anticipates providing funds in the amount of $30,000 for each of the 
two teleconferences over a project period of 24 months.

Energy, Dallas Support Office, 1420 West Mockingbird Lane, suite 400,
