Mormon Geothermal!
Tuesday, November 11th, 2014
It has been repeated time and again that churches drive many worthy and valuable efforts, and when they get behind something, people listen. Here is a peak at the 683,000 square foot Mormon Church Office Building in Salt Lake City, heated and cooled by geothermal sourced chillers since 1972.
The headquarters building of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) is a 28-story office tower plus penthouse and two 4-story wings to the east and west. The building was occupied in 1972. Construction is concrete. The entire complex has 683,000 net square feet of office space and houses 1,600+ employees. Three levels below ground contain the cafeteria, mail room, print shop, maintenance shop, and parking for 1,400 cars.
Meet the Mormons-
