Wonder how much A/c in the fieldhouse will cost?

I imagine step 1 is insulate the entire interior. That by itself will be expensive, but cheaper than sizing AC units and electricity costs for keeping up with the thermal transfer of a metal enclosure in FL. I wonder if there are any applicable research projects going on on-campus that could use this as a test bed.
Let me google that for myself
Energy Department Funds UCF Research in Housing Innovations
The University of Central Florida is the only university-led team in the nation to receive part of a $4 million investment by the Energy Department to develop and demonstrate energy efficient methods of keeping homes cool in the summer and warm in winter.
Maybe just use the closed cell spray foam and pull the air out of the inside with exhaust fans. That spray foam is $$$$$ as hell. Had just a little bit put in my house.
For a project like this, where the roof has regularly spaced beams, it's a whole lot cheaper to use pre manufactured closed foam panels. Then you just fill the gaps with spray foam. They should probably consult with that group though. I mean they're experts in the field and on campus.
"The Land" boat ride at Epcot uses ground water running through pipes in front of fans to cool their greenhouse down by 10-15 degrees. Not sure why this can't be cheaply implemented here.
Well, I think UCF could reasonably cool down the Field house by 10-15 degrees F by insulating and SOME AC
You can't put a price on life. Nobody will die of exhaustion with this new A/C unit. Frost is so smart.
Yeah, I don't know why most houses in Florida aren't geothermal. The water table is so shallow and the ground is relatively easy to drill through.
Maybe they could borrow a little extra air from the 4 tower dorms located right around the facility?
also conserve all the water weight that is lost in the very humid August and Septembers.
My guess is that on game weeks he'll have a hard outside practice Monday or Tuesday in the heat than go indoors Wednesday till gameday to keep them fresh
If they could install photovoltaic panels on the roof that could really reduce operating costs. Maybe a grant or something.
Why don't we get a local sponsor like Johnson Controls who owns York A/C to put it in there. Publicity for them, and they can test this out for other schools since this is becoming a big thing in the south now.
For a guy who has been around since 2002, almost as long as you and I (since 2001), I think he was just testing our memory.
Sure about that?
Carrier Dome....which doesn't have AIR CONDITIONING in it.
Ahahahahah!!! Rotfllmao! Wtf!
. Hehehe! Lol! You are really bringing it today!!

That was the point of the post.
That place must be gross.Sure about that?
