A brief description of the clean and renewable stationary fuels:
Geothermal heat pumps have been operational on Miami’s campus since 2011 in the school’s oldest residence halls. The Western Geothermal Plant was built in 2014 and expanded in 2017. Its 690 wells provide heating and cooling to 10 buildings with over ½ million sq. ft. In FY2018, our geothermal heating system generated 34,236.905 MMBtu of non-electric renewable energy. Utilizing a geothermal heating system has been one factoring variable (of many) contributing to the elimination of burning coal on-site. For the first time in FY2017, Miami University did not burn coal; three years before our targeted goal of eliminating coal by 2025. Miami University continued to not burn coal in FY2018.
