The Como Zoo currently does not have the funds available to change over a 40 year old plus inefficient natural gas steam boiler to a more energy efficient heating and cooling system to begin the decarbonization of the Como Zoo Campus. The Hydro Geothermal Heat Pump (HGHP) achieves a much higher performance profile than a natural gas steam boiler and even more than a traditional geothermal system.

Procurement pursuit intelligence
This project has been enacted. FFID maps funded projects to likely downstream procurement channels — including recipient portals, state and local systems, agency programs, and Grants.gov. SAM.gov is monitored, but many CPF/CDS-funded opportunities appear first through recipient or state/local procurement systems.
