Based on the premise that a geothermal fluid source of quality and having thermal properties similar to the existing Old State Penitentiary well water can be confirmed in the same general location, a feasibility/conceptual design effort for the Boise Space Heating Demonstration Project was started to determine practical ways to use this energy. The design activity included studies to establish methods by which certain public, State of Idaho buildings in Boise could economically be converted to utilize geothermal energy for space heat in lieu of presently installed more conventional heating systems. The first portion of that conceptual design effort is the required building modifications and is the basis for this report.
