Ground Source Heating and Cooling for Residential and Commercial Properties:
Latest Technologies, Economic Advantages, Environmental Impacts and Regulations
What is Our Program All About?
Today's ground source heating and cooling (GSHC) technology provides a proven method for saving significant amounts of energy for heating, cooling and hot water generation for ANY application. Thousands of homes, businesses and manufacturing plants across the nation are already taking advantage of these energy-efficient conditioning systems. GSHC systems operate at significantly lower costs than traditional gas, oil or electric-based installations. National benefits from geoexchange installations include less demand for energy generation capacity, reduction in green-house gas emissions and a reduced dependence on imports of oil and other fossil fuels.
By definition, installation of ground source systems involves accessing the sub-surface by either excavation or by drilling vertical bores. Because the sub-surface heat-exchange process occurs near or beneath the ground water table, environmental and water resource regulatory questions about design and installation have been raised in some states.
This one-day program:
-Defines the state of the art in terms of design options and economic pay-back
-Demonstrates the environmental and strategic benefits of the technology
-Dispels common myths about the effectiveness, reliability and safety of ground source systems
-Explains industry-accepted installation, operation and maintenance practices
-Provides an update on state, local and regulatory oversight recommendations
Questions to be considered include:
-Are there any environmental or economic risks associated with this technology?
-Are there data that clearly demonstrate risk cause and effect?
-Do design and installation standards provide adequate environmental protection?
-Should specific professional training be required for the below-ground system installation?
-Which agencies should, or do, have, regulatory oversight for heat exchange installations?
-What are the barriers to widespread adoption of the technology for new buildings or for
homeowner retrofit? What can be done to eliminate these barriers?
This program draws on the experience and expertise of industry and agency professionals and will provide a unique opportunity for exchange of information among policy makers involved in energy issues and specialists involved with the design, construction and permitting of ground source geo-exchange systems for cooling and heating.
This program is of interest to professionals who design, install, inspect, approve, recommend or regulate these systems. This technology has the potential to become the technology of choice among those considering green energy alternatives for commercial or residential installations.
Energy company engineers, architects, planners and conservation commissioners, building code inspectors, environmental health professionals, home inspectors, water well contractors, HVAC professionals, real estate agents, home builders and developers, town officials (Conservation, Zoning, Planning), water testing specialists should not miss this opportunity to get up to speed with this technology. It will be coming to a building near you!
