Karges-Faulconbridge, Inc.
Engineers
Introduction
Karges-Faulconbridge, Inc. was commissioned to investigate the geothermal heat pump issues
at the Oak Park Heights City Hall located at 14168 Oak Park Boulevard North in Oak Park
Heights, MN. Through site investigation, document review, and calculations of these systems,
KFI has developed this report which documents the potential issues in the systems.
There are (4) water-to-water heat pumps manufactured by GeoFurnace Mfg, Inc and installed
to serve the majority of the heating and cooling requirements of the facility. There are (2)
MW180- 15 ton units and (2) MW240—20 ton units. The 15 ton units are labeled as HP-1 and
HP-4 and these units are the primary heating and cooling units. The 20 ton units switch from
heating to cooling when required to meet the demand.
Since the startup of the geothermal heat pump system in the spring of 2010, there have been
multiple compressor failures in HP-1 and HP-4. Three (3) compressors have already been
replaced and one(1)other compressor in HP-1 needs replacement.
The following systems have been investigated to find out why these compressors have failed.
• Electrical System
• Equipment Manufacturing Defects
• Temperature Controls
• Geothermal Well Field Sizing
• Heat Pump Equipment Sizing
• Hydronic Flows
Electrical System
The electrical system has been analyzed by Emanuelson-Podas Consulting Engineers in
September 2011, and they could find no issues with the electrical system that could be causing
the compressor failures. The power factor readings were low, but a low power factor would

not be causing compressor failures. From the documents that have been reviewed, it does not
appear that the electrical system is the root cause.
Equipment Manufacturing Defects
The GeoFurnace heat pumps have had several reported issues including a non-functional
reversing valve that was replaced. The heat pumps have DanFoss compressors, but on past
projects, we have seen as many failures with Copeland compressors as with DanFoss
compressors. The manufacturer is not in business any longer, but did provide a three (3) year
warranty on refrigeration components including compressors per the shop drawings.
Temperature Control Shop Drawings
The temperature control shop drawings show very little for controls or sequencing of the heat
pumps. Items to be verified include the heating set points as several times the control shop
drawings state 125°F and 130°F supply water temperatures. I believe the heating setpoint is
115°F. Also, the valve schedule included in the shop drawings does not show the flow (GPM)
for the 3-way butterfly valves for the heat pumps.
Since recently gaining remote access to the system, the temperature control system shows
several alarms from the past few months that should be investigated.
Geothermal Well Field Sizing
The geothermal well field has 104 bores which equates to 104 tons assuming each bore is
approximately 1 ton. The field has more than enough capacity as the total connected
equipment only is 80 tons of capacity. On November 21, 2011, the well field temperatures
were 60°F entering the well field and 58°F leaving the well field. The pressure on the hydronic
system was 68 psi (157 ft hd)to the well field and 25 psi (58 ft hd)coming back to the building.
The hydronic pumps (P-3 and P-4) were sized for 330 GPM at 150 ft hd. The Test & Balance
report shows the flows set at 167.35 GPM at 60.06 ft hd with the VFD at 36.3 Hz as the users
only added up to 168 GPM, The pumps are operating at 100%currently and developing 100 ft
hd across the well field.

•
Heat Pump Equipment Sizing
The heat pumps are sized adequately to provide staging with dual compressors in each unit to
prevent over cycling. On site on November 21, 2011, the HP-1 was cycling one compressor in
heating mode. All other heat pumps were off.
Hydronic Flows
As discussed previously, the source and load flows though the heat pumps as stated in the Heat
Pump Schedules shown on the M7.1 included in the construction drawings and Test & Balance
report do not match the flows required by the heat pump shop drawings. Page 18 of the Test &
Balance report shows the flows through HP-1 and HP-4 at (2) 13.5 GPM. HP-2 and HP-3 flows
are set at (2) at 23.0 GPM. It is not clear if these are flows through the load and source side or
just the heating and cooling load side.
The shop drawings state the source flow through HP-1 and HP-4 should be a minimum of 36
GPM. I would recommend that the higher flow of 45 GPM be used. The load flow in either
heating or cooling should be 45 GPM.
For HP-2 and HP-3, the shop drawings state a minimum of 48 GPM for the source flow. I
recommend using the higher flows at 60 GPM. The load flow in either heating or cooling should
be 60 GPM.
From this initial review, it appears the current flows for both the source and load sides do not
meet the minimum requirements for these heat pumps and this led to the early compressor
failures. These flows should be verified and adjusted before any other compressors are
replaced.

MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Co cil .m a •/
FROM: Eric Johnson, City • 1,.0': f. . tor )
RE: RFB—Geothermal • : • - , • veers- Summary
Recently, as requested by the City Council,the City did prepare and distribute a Request for Bids
for the services of a Mechanical Engineer to aid the City in dealing with possible geothermal
corrective actions should matters not be satisfactorily concluded between the City,Jorgenson
Construction and Buetow&Associates.
As such the RFB, did include three categories that would address three possible scenarios.
Part 1. Provide the City a third-party perspective of the systems installed, comment on
operations and efficiency standards and offer methods by which the systems can
be improved.
Part 2. Plan, undertake and execute an entirely new Heat Pump and operational system.
This would presume that the City has essentially removed Jorgenson Construction
from any and all corrective actions and the City will perform the work
independently. The City still retains $100,000 from payments to Jorgenson
Construction
Part 3. Act as the City's knowledgeable representative should an entirely new heat pump
system need to be installed but executed by Jorgenson Construction.
The RFB was sent to the following parties:
• Bonestroo Engineering
• Foth Engineering
• Northern Air Mechanical
• Horwitz,NSI—Mechanical Contractors
• Albers Mechanical Contractors
• Karges—Faulconbridge, Inc.
1
•
Two parties responded:
1. Karges-Faulconbridge
2. AKF Engineers
Pricing:
Karges-Faulconbridge AKF
Part 1 $7,200 $6,600
Part 2 12% 9.75%
Part 3 $135/hour $187/hour
Should Part#2 be needed, the costs associated with such Heat Pump Replacement could be in
the $150,000 range. At that point the AKF Group fee would be $14,625 with Karges-
Faulconbridge being$18,000
Recommendation
Based on the two submissions, it would appear the Karges—Faulconbridge is the more qualified
of the two responding firms. Karges-Faulconbridge provides numerous and local references
(including the City of Woodbury and the City of Roseville) for geothermal projects,many of
which are vertical loop fields which is similar to what the City maintains. The AKF Group does
not provide a MN based reference.

Section 3: In the event the City desires to replace the heat pumps through
Jorgenson Construction(the building's General Contractor)the City desires and
seeks the services of a mechanical engineer to act as the City's agent in such
replacement. This individual would act as the liaison between the City and
Jorgenson Construction to ensure that the systems to be installed meet the full needs
and desires of the City.

a.AKF Project Experience
GREENBURGH PUBLIC LIBRARY,ADDITION AND RENOVATION OF EXISTING LIBRARY
I ELMSFORD,NY
AKF Engineers provided engineering services for the 25,000 sgft addition and renovation of the existing
I Greenburgh Public Library building located in Elmsford, New York. The new facility totaled 48,000 sgft and had a
construction budget of$16 million.AKF was requested to lead the owner's sustainable goal of a LEED Certified
building and to provide fully integrated systems throughout the new facility. The Greenburgh Public Library had
' achieved a LEED-NC certification.
At the onset of the project,AKF evaluated multiple schemes for heating and air conditioning systems and provided
1 I a lifecycle cost analysis for each scheme.A geothermal heat pump system was recommended because it provided
75%annual energy cost savings over the schemes that included fossil fuel burning heating plants.
I ' Sustainable design elements incorporated into the facility included: air handling systems zoned to provide
individual temperature control in each space; variable air volume system; mixed mode natural ventilation, radiant
1 floor heat, and passive solar heating in the high volume main reading room space; demand control ventilation with
I carbon dioxide sensors; exhaust air heat recovery system; reduced potable water consumption with low flow
fixtures; natural lighting with day lighting controls. Full sprinkler protection and an addressable fire alarm system
were provided for life safety.
IDARIEN LIBRARY,NEW FACILITY AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
DARIEN,CT
I The Darien Library is a new 52,000 set facility located on The Post Road at Hecker Avenue in Darien,
Connecticut. The new facility was designed with the intent of a LEED Gold building that includes a children's
library, program room, art gallery/cafe, adult services library, a conference/library board room, community meeting
Iroom, study rooms, and administrative offices.
AKF designed state-of-the-art mechanical and electrical systems for the facility and performed the energy model
I using the DOE-II software program, achieving a 40%energy cost reduction over a baseline building meeting
minimum energy standards. The project has achieved LEED®-NC Gold certification.

THE GENERAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
1 NEW YORK,NY
The General Theological Seminary(GTS) is located at 175 Ninth Avenue and 2 I st Street in New York, New York.
The campus consists of classroom, dormitory and faculty housing buildings, and a chapel. The first buildings were
1 erected in 1836, making them approximately 170 years old; the majority of the buildings were erected in the 20th
century.
' AKF Engineers provided engineering services for the phased renovation of their campus buildings.As part of the
renovation project, GTS will decommission their steam boiler plant and convert to a campus-wide geothermal heat
pump system to provide all buildings with heating and air conditioning.
1 GTS has based its decision on converting from a fossil fuel burning plant to geothermal heating and cooling on
attaining the following goals:
1 • Increased energy efficiency, resulting in an 8-year return on its investment.
• Lower maintenance costs.
1 • Environmental benefits of reduced greenhouse gases which contribute to acid rain and global warming.
• To play a leadership role by example as good stewards of the environment.
1 The proposed geothermal well system, the largest geothermal system in New York City, consists of 22 standing
column wells, located in the sidewalk ringing the campus, and water-to-water heat pump modules located in eight
(8) mechanical spaces in select buildings throughout the campus.
1 FRIENDS CENTER,PHILADELPHIA, PA
OFFICE BUILDING AND LANKMARK MEETING HOUSE RENOVATION
1 The Friend's Center project was the renovation of the 58,000 square foot office building and adjacent 26,000
square foot historic meeting house for The Friends Center Corporation. A major goal of the Quakers for the
project was to significantly reduce the environmental footprint of their facility and to become Carbon neutral. The
1 building has been designed to limit potable water use, use zero fossil fuels and to prevent storm water from leaving
the site for all storms up to the 2-year storm event. Rainwater is harvested from the meeting house roof and
utilized for flushing plumbing fixtures. On-site potable water use is limited to hand washing and drinking water. In
' order to eliminate use of fossil fuels, the project utilizes standing column geothermal wells to provide heating and
cooling. All electricity used on the site is purchased wind energy and is supplemented by a I 0 kW rooftop
photovoltaic array. The project has achieved LEED®-NC Platinum certification.
1 The following sustainable features have been incorporated into the project:
• Standing Column Geothermal Heat Pumps with Variable Speed Drives
1 • Rainwater Harvesting System
• Green Roof
• Roof Mounted Photovoltaic Array
1 • Energy Star Appliances and Office Equipment
• Reduced Plug Load Usage
• Automated Daylighting Harvesting

LEED® Gold
Great River Energy (GRE) needed to create 28,000 square feet of new office space
for their staff at the Cold Creek Power Station north of Bismarck. This space was a
small portion of a larger shell space being developed and subleased out. The
mechanical and electrical systems were developed to support the entire facility and
provided tie-ins for future tenant systems. This building is the first in North
Dakota to receive the Gold LEED Certification.
A geothermal system is the base mechanical system, providing perimeter in-floor
heat for the first six feet around the perimeter of the building to cover heat loss.
i
Future tenant spaces are provided conduit stubs, pulling power from the electrical
room,including data and telephone.GREs low voltage system supports their large
data room and utilizes a cable tray, and a duct to provide access into the building.
GRE's space is comprised of typical office spaces including offices, conference
rooms, a multi-purpose room, break room, and public restrooms, which include
showers.
Great River Energy continues to be a repeat client of KFI on various types of
projects and continues to strive for LEED certified facilities.

There are several buildings on Great River Energy's (GRE's) campus which are
connected through a heat pump hydronic loop system.
An innovative solution for alternative power was to use waste heat from the refuse
derived fuel (RDF) plant boiler system prior to rejecting the water into the
Mississippi River. The reuse of the water was approved by the DNR, due to the
benefit of removing heat from the water returning to the river. This hydronic loop
serves several buildings heat pump s stems makin it one of the most efficient
g p p Y g
campuses in the upper Midwest.
Part of Great River Energy headquarters is served by two (2) 100 ton geothermal
loops. The geothermal wells are 120 to 130 feet deep. Each well provides almost
one ton of cooling capacity.
Great River Energy's computer data center, controlling all 26 electrical coops
remotely, has (4) eight-ton water to air he
pumps which keep the room at a
constant 70 degrees F. Due to the critical nature of this data center, constant
effective operation was considered a high priority.
This rejected heat is then transferred to other parts of the building or to the
geothermal loop. The internal building geothermal loop is separated from the
wellfield geothermal loop by a heat exchanger.

demonstrate the power of efficient and renewable energy. This focus continues in
their public building efforts, as well as with the new Library, which is adjacent to
the City Hall/Government Center.
A geothermal system was selected, including displacement ventilation, to provide
maximum efficiency. This design required a creative solution for diffuser
placements. Custom column full surround displacement diffusers were installed at
the low points of the column supports providing functionality and incorporating
seamlessly with the architectural design. This provides efficient fresh ventilation
air to the library occupants.
The heating and cooling plant for the building is supplied by a geothermal system.
The open roof was designed with several north facing clerestory windows, which
enabled KFI to incorporate daylighting. Additional systems included in the design
were occupancy sensors, CO2 sensors, low voltage rough-ins, water efficient low
flow plumbing, exterior halide lighting in the parking lot, and decorative lighting
on the walkway.
Through the incorporation of numerous energy efficient systems the Energy City is
able to showcase their Public Library as another successful energy efficient effort
on behalf of their community.

The growing community of Maple Grove was in need of a new public library. A
roof with open space and no corners was created to represent an architectural
vision of an 'open book' building. The glass clearstory provided limited space for
ductwork, sun glare, and potential solar heat gain issues. Studies and modeling
were performed in order to select the proper glass to correct the issues relating to
the glass.
A raised under floor distribution system provides the needed flexibility to
accomplish the aesthetic goals. To provide the libraries heating and cooling
requirements KFI incorporated a lake loop geothermal heating and cooling system.
Additional sustainable design elements include daylighting controls, occupancy
sensors, controlled shades and low flow plumbing.
Each of the mechanical and electrical elements was designed to maintain the
architectural design of the building. Maple Grove received a unique sustainable
facility that meets the needs of its growing city.

LEED® Certified
KFI completed the design of this new 88,000 square-foot elementary school in
Watertown,MN.
The HVAC system utilized a Dual Duct Variable Air Volume (VAV) with
Displacement Ventilation, energy recovery air handling units with a dedicated
outdoor air path serving dual duct VAV boxes in the classroom, and an automated
control system with CO2 sensors controlling the outside air and lighting systems.
The central plant consisted of a geothermal well field with 216 wells,200 foot deep,
plus two 95 percent efficient condensing boilers for redundant and supplemental
heating.
Technology design included a certified structured cabling system with campus-
wide connectivity, data network system, VoIP telephone system, integrated
paging/life safety system, networked security management system and classroom
audio/visual system design. The certified structured cabling design utilized
Category 6a cabling to provide for 10GB data throughput to provide for future
growth in the rapidly changing technology industry. Classrooms were designed
with a focus on flexibility as audio/visual systems were integrated into the
voice/data/video services.

Looking for a sustainable solution, the City of Roseville converted their ice arena's
direct expansion refrigerant system to a geothermal system reducing the annual
refrigerant use from 7,000 to approximately 100 lbs.
The new geothermal system for the facility cools the ice to 18 degrees, warms the
seating area to 50 degrees, and the meeting and banquet rooms to 70+ degrees, all
within the piping loops. The Ice Kube heat pumps reject heat from the ice and pipe
the rejected heat through a piping loop that serves the rest of the building. The
unused heat is transferred to the geothermal well field and stored or rejected to the
cooling tower. This well field is centrally located on the City of Roseville campus
and was created with 96 bore holes that are each 120 feet deep
The mechanical system was converted to the geothermal system in just three
months.Indoor skating is a year round sport at the Roseville Indoor Skating Center
so it could only afford minimal down time. This premier facility now provides the
skating center a creative, sustainable, and efficient cooling and heating solution,
with future sustainable capability.
The project is part of the City of Roseville's campus master plan. Skating center
waste heat will eventually be transferred to heat and cool other city buildings.
Future plans connect the piping loop to the police station, city hall and the public
works facility.

• PROJECT APPROACH
• The Karges-Faulconbridge, Inc (KFI) design philosophy and approach to
investigative studies is to plan the work and follow through with field
Karges Fatticonbridge,Inc. investigation, and compare to the originally designed system. KFI will work to
W eilOPq s clearly identify the major issues and problematic points if they exist. KFI will
>„ perform an extensive field investigation to determine how the existing systems
, , La were designed to operate and verify such. The infrastructure that supports these
� � ' ?a � , systems is closely analyzed to ensure that adequate capacities exist and are
i , " ; installed properly. By properly starting a project, the team can quickly proceed
i �� with analyzing the issues. See attached Workplan.
During the study phase, KFI uses its quality control process to ensure that code
and user requirements are fully addressed. KFI research is based on sound
engineering principals that are fully coordinated to meet the physical parameters
of the building.
KFI engages in an active role during the investigation process to ensure that the
Owner is well represented and their interests are fully protected.
Tasks
• Identify and obtain all Owner guidelines for the existing
equipment and systems installation.
• Identify systems to be removed as part of the project.
• Perform load calculations for all existing systems and determine
the total loads that will be required to support the building.
• Evaluate and verify that existing infrastructure services have
capacity to support the building.
• Review all existing equipment on a preliminary basis.
• Review preliminary information with the owner to ensure that it
satisfies the project requirements.
• Proceed with a report for review by the owner. The submittal
will include all findings discovered during our investigation.
