Discover how pairing a high-efficiency electric heat pump with a gas furnace can slash utility bills by up to 75% while ensuring reliable comfort even in the coldest climates through smart dual fuel technology.

This article explores how modular design, hydraulic separation, and advanced controls can transform geothermal systems from incremental efficiency gains into scalable, high-performance solutions for commercial and residential buildings.

The 2025 Geothermal Rising Conference marked a turning point for geothermal energy, honoring Dr. James Bose’s legacy while showcasing how heat pump innovation is powering a scalable, decarbonized future.

Explore why geothermal energy—thanks to its tiny land footprint, round-the-clock reliability, and seamless integration with solar, wind and urban thermal networks—is emerging as a cornerstone of a sustainable, resilient, high-density clean-energy future.

Understanding geotechnical reports is essential for plumbing engineers, as groundwater, soil conditions and subsurface risks directly impact below-grade systems and require careful coordination with structural, civil and geotechnical teams to ensure reliable, damage-free designs.

Ground-source heat pump systems depend on durable, properly specified plastic piping, and the new PPI MS-7 model specification helps engineers ensure the right materials, standards and installation practices are used for reliable, long-term geothermal performance.

Geothermal systems, when paired with the right climate and building programs, can turn waste heat into year-round efficiency, offering a powerful path to reduced energy use, resilience and sustainable design.

Heat pump water heaters can save families about $500 a year on energy bills, and with rebates of up to $3,000 nationwide, plus a federal tax credit of up to $2,000, there’s never been a better time to make the switch before incentives expire.

As refineries confront mounting heat and water challenges, geothermal exchange is emerging as a game-changing solution that can slash water use, boost resiliency and turn industrial waste heat into a valuable community asset.

From energy recovery wheels to pandemic-ready HVAC and precision scheduling on active sites, this healthcare expansion showcases how innovation and teamwork keep critical facilities safe, efficient, and future-ready.
