GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP DESIGN COURSE #2 (For Building Professionals)
GSHP Design is a 9-hour course (covered in three 3-hour modules) and is an update of last year’s course for Architects, Engineers, Designers, Contractors, Building Owners and Developers, and those mechanical contractors who want to consider adding a geo-side to their business. The three modules can be purchased independently of one another or group-purchased at a discount. Participants will be given free design software that is used in the course.

Module 2: Design of Ground Source Heat Pump Systems
COMPLETED ON 10/28/21
Thirteen-step design process, including instruction using provided software for Ground Heat Exchanger Sizing, Pump Calculations, AHRI test data corrections to design conditions, and more. Design for closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger and closed-loop surface water heat exchanger connected to a commercial building. It is assumed that the attendee has gone through Module 1 or already has a basic understanding of GSHPs.

Module 3: Ground Source Heat Pump Systems: Special Topics
COMPLETED ON 11/4/21
Design of surface water systems, and design considerations for cold v. warm regions. It is recommended that attendees participate in the previous modules; however, it is not mandatory. Module 3 provides information on current codes and standards as they apply to ground-source heat pumps systems and information on additional resources for design and construction.
