Geothermal Energy and Ground Source Heat Pumps – An Overview

Ground source (geothermal) heat pumps are not new. However, many are not aware of the technology, simply because this technology is a relatively small percentage of the heating and cooling industry. That is about to change! As concerns about the electric grid and energy security are becoming important topics, especially as data centers are expanding, GSHPs (Ground Source Heat Pumps) are the solution in many ways!

IGSHPA’s Geo 101 self-paced, one hour, free, online course provides a comprehensive overview of GSHPs, covering everything you need to know about:

• How GSHP technology works
