Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Vassar College installed shallow-source geothermal heating and cooling in newly-built senior housing apartments (Town Houses and Terrace Apartments), and in the renovation of one dormitory (Davison House), but since we do not track the MBtu harvested or saved by these systems, we cannot claim them in this credit.
