Carleton
Summary
During its annual conference in April, the New York Geothermal Energy Organization (NY-GEO) named Salas O’Brien the winner of the 2022 GeoStar Top Job competition for its work on Carleton’s campus geothermal system.
The gathering was the first in-person NY-GEO conference since 2019, drawing an attendance of over 450 geothermal stakeholders.
“We were pleased to have such a treasure trove of innovative and exciting projects to choose from this year,” said Bill Nowak, NY-GEO executive director.
Although there were many impressive submissions, the system built for Carleton stood out among the others.
“In the end, they chose the Carleton College project, where an artfully designed geothermal system is heating and cooling 40 campus buildings, replacing an over 100-year-old steam system in one of the coldest towns in the lower 48 states,” said Lisa Marshall, the NY-GEO volunteer who coordinated the competition. “The judges noted that this project could easily inspire New York’s many colleges and universities to follow suit.”
