Abstract
To encourage the development of hydrothermal energy, the U.S. Department of Energy's Division of Geothermal and Hydropower Technologies funded, on a cost sharing basis, twenty three demonstration projects. The Haakon School project is one of twelve such projects administered by the DOE Idaho Operations Office with technical support from EG&G Idaho, Inc. This paper described the geothermal direct use heating system at the Haakon School complex in Philip, South Dakota and presents information gained during approximately three heating seasons of operation.
