This thesis explores the economic feasibility of applying geothermally heated hot water for space heating purposes at the Naval Air Station, Fallon, Nevada. A generalized survey of current geothermal technology is presented, followed by a discussion of geothermal cost factors. Two recent separate studies, one by the Public Works Center, Naval Weapons Station, China Lake, CA., and the other by Western Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, San Bruno, CA., which address the geothermal heating application at NAS Fallon, are synopsized. Using the benefit/cost results of these studies, a more detailed economic evaluation is then made of the proposed alternatives. Results of these economic extensions indicate that a geothermal heating system at NAS Fallon is a basically sound investment, given the correctness of assumptions made in each study. Several conclusions and recommendations are presented based on the study results.
