Before we know it, much like seeing a new water main or sewer main going into a downtown city street, we will see geothermal main lines installed in our communities. The time is coming when energy companies will charge for BTUs exchanged rather than for fossil fuels combusted.
The organizations will partner with Egg Geothermal to host a series of eight monthly webinars focused on the integration of air-source and ground-source heat pumps into buildings, the first of many courses for the newly formed Hydronic University.
It is counterintuitive for tradespeople who work with boilers and know how to create heat through combustion of fossil fuels to understand that heating can be accomplished with electrically driven heat pumps.
The course will be held live May 24 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. CDT. Attendees will be able to earn 2.0 LU | HSWs through the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and 0.2 CEUs through the International Code Council (ICC).
The company has added the independent distributor of brand-name plumbing, HVAC, industrial, mechanical, and water works supplies as a distribution partner.
The first course, "Heat Pump System (ASHP & GSHP) + Hybrid Design Overview Part 1," will take place April 12. Attendees can earn education credits from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the International Code Council (ICC).
Their efforts have championed renewable energy, and demonstrably helped move the Empire State Plaza, New York’s center of government in Albany, away from fossil fuel combustion.
Four years of combined efforts to stop installation of gas turbines for clean, surface water coupled electric chillers have helped to change policy in New York.
When we are talking about water energy, there is another type of hydropower that has to do with using water movement to transfer energy in the form of BTUs.
