SBIR PHASE II: GROUND-LOOP HEAT EXCHANGER SOLUTION FOR LOW COST GROUND-SOURCE HEAT PUMPS -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PROJECT IS THAT IT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THE INITIAL COST OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL GROUND-SOURCE HEAT PUMP (GSHP) SYSTEMS USED IN SPACE HEATING AND COOLING APPLICATIONS. GSHPS ARE INHERENTLY MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT THAN MOST HEATING AND COOLING TECHNOLOGIES. THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL ACCELERATE ELECTRIFICATION OF THE US ECONOMY, LESSEN THE NATION?S DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS, REDUCE PEAK ELECTRICITY DEMAND, AND LOWER EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES SUCH AS CO2. GSHPS OPERATE QUIETLY AND RELIABLY, PROVIDE HUMIDITY CONTROL, AND CAN PROVIDE BOTH HEATING AND COOLING, GREATLY INCREASING THE COMFORT OF BUILDING ENVIRONMENTS AND QUALITY OF LIFE. GSHPS CAN ALSO REDUCE AND LEVELIZE UTILITY BILLS IN LOW-INCOME HOUSING AND ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS TO THOSE IN NEED. THIS SBIR PHASE II PROJECT PROPOSES TO FURTHER DEVELOP A NOVEL TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL OVERCOME BARRIERS IN THE APPLICABILITY, DESIRABILITY AND COST-COMPETITIVENESS OF GSHP SYSTEMS. THE PROJECT?S CHIEF TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES ARE TO IMPROVE TOOLS AND KNOWHOW RELATING TO THE APPLICATION OF THE PROPOSED NOVEL IN-GROUND HEAT EXCHANGER TECHNOLOGY AND TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY IN REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS IN TARGETED GEOGRAPHICAL MARKETS. SPECIFICALLY, THE PROJECT WILL FURTHER REFINE THE COMPUTATIONAL MODELING TOOLS USED TO SIZE HEAT EXCHANGER SYSTEMS; AND DEVELOP AND INTEGRATE SOPHISTICATED GEOSPATIAL DATA SETS THAT THESE MODELS WILL USE/ THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE ACCURATE AND MORE RAPID HEAT EXCHANGER SIZING ON A SITE-SPECIFIC BASIS. NEXT, THE PROJECT WILL VALIDATE THESE TOOLS THROUGH EXTENDED TESTING AND DATA COLLECTION ON A PROTOTYPE SYSTEM INSTALLED ON A HOME SYSTEM. FINALLY, THIS PROJECT WILL APPLY THESE TOOLS DURING THE DEPLOYMENT OF THREE COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS IN TARGETED GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS AND COLLECT ADDITIONAL DATA REGARDING THEIR PERFORMANCE OVER TIME. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

THIS PROPOSED FAA WILL ENHANCE THE CAPACITY OF SIERRA LEONE’S PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM TO SERVE RURAL SIERRA LEONEANS BY PROVIDING 31 REMOTE, OFF-GRID, RURAL HEALTH CENTERS WITH EQUIPMENT FOR THE PRODUCTION, STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITY AS WELL AS EQUIPMENT FOR DATA CONNECTIVITY; THE FAA WILL ALSO TEST A METHODOLOGY FOR DEPLOYING AND OPERATING EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES FOR PURIFYING AND DISTRIBUTING WATER AT TWO OF THE HEALTH CENTERS. FURTHERMORE, THE PROJECT WILL ADVISE EACH HEALTH CENTER WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD BECOME RELEVANT WITH A RELIABLE SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY, SUCH AS REFRIGERATORS, EXAMINATION LAMPS, COMPUTERS, BLOOD ANALYZERS, AND CENTRIFUGES; THIS ADVICE WILL HELP ENSURE OPTIMAL ALIGNMENT OF ELECTRICITY USAGE OF THE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, GIVEN THE CAPACITY OF THE OFF-GRID ELECTRICITY SYSTEMS PROVIDED BY THE FAA. THE OFF-GRID ELECTRICITY SYSTEM WILL BE CONNECTED TO A PLATFORM FOR REMOTE MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE OPTIMAL EFFICIENCY, MAINTENANCE, AND DATA COLLECTION. THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT, MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HEALTH CENTERS AND – IN A BROADER CONTEXT – THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SCALABLE AND REPLICABLE METHODOLOGY FOR PROVIDING SUCH INVESTMENT IN REMOTE OFF-GRID HEALTH CENTERS IN OTHER PARTS OF SIERRA LEONE AND SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA MORE GENERALLY. THE MICROUTILITY SYSTEMS OF THIS GDA INCLUDE PHOTOVOLTAIC ELECTRICITY GENERATION SYSTEMS, AND INTERNET CONNECTIVITY SYSTEMS, AND IT WILL TEST SYSTEMS FOR PURIFYING WATER. EACH OF THESE SYSTEMS IS FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION OF HEALTH CENTERS AND THE SYSTEMS ARE ALSO FUNDAMENTAL FOR THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY MODEL FOR THE OVERALL MICROUTILIEIS METHODOLOGY. THE GDA PARTNERS (ORANGE, RESOLVE, AND USAID) HAVE PROPOSED TO WORK WITH SIERRA LEONE’S MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND SANITATION (MOHS) TO SELECT THE HEALTH CENTERS THAT WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE PROJECT AND HAVE ASKED MOHS TO PROVIDE GENERAL SUPPORT FOR THE INITIATIVE WITHIN OTHER MINISTRIES AND AGENCIES OF THE GOVERNMENT OF SIERRA LEONE.
