Costain, J K; Glover, L III; Newman, R W

In the Navy Energy R and D Program to assess the feasibility of geothermal energy use at East Coast naval installations, the Naval Air Rework Facilities (NARFs), Norfolk, Va., and Jacksonville, Fla., and the Naval Shipyard, Charleston, S.C., were investigated. Geophysical and geological studies of the Norfolk, Jacksonville, and Charleston areas were performed, and engineering and economic factors affecting potential energy use were assessed. The Norfolk and Jacksonville NARFs are identified as candidates for geothermal systems, and system costs are predicted. Economic benefits of the proposed geothermal systems are evaluated by the net present value method of evaluating future income.
