Geothermal systems have the potential to use 30-60 percent less energy, while running quieter and requiring less maintenance than conventional systems.

This training is designed to help building professionals assess whether a GeoExchange system (geothermal heat pump technology) is right for their next project, be it a home, school or business. Attendees will discover the right way to plan and evaluate their next successful GeoExchange project.

We are facing a number of energy challenges in the next decade. The comfort system in our buildings is one of the most important choices we will make regarding a building's performance. Facing rising energy prices, residential and commercial customers are seeking ways to manage their energy use and costs. The growing importance architects and builders are placing on environmental sustainability without sacrificing economic considerations makes GeoExchange systems an efficient and cost effective solution.

AS A RESULT OF THIS TRAINING YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Explain the benefits of a GeoExchange system over other heating and cooling systems
• Identify good opportunities for including GeoExchange systems in high performance buildings
• Evaluate GeoExchange applications to determine energy savings and return on investment for your projects
• Discuss how you can make your projects more eco-friendly by including GeoExchange systems into the comfort packages of your buildings

Benefits of attending:

• Discover how to plan and evaluate your next GeoExchange project
• Assess the practicality of geothermal systems for your projects
• Learn through hands-on demonstrations
• Provide next steps for designers considering geothermal heating and cooling
• Learn why GeoExchange systems are an efficient and cost effective solution
