IAPMO has made the 2026 Uniform Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal Code (USHGC) and Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code (USPSHTC) Technical Committee Meeting Monographs available for download.

Dandelion Energy is transforming the geothermal market by pivoting to production home building and utilizing a unique leasing model that eliminates high upfront costs while slashing installation expenses by 40%.

Discover how early design advocacy and integrated engineering brought a high-efficiency vertical geothermal system to life at ThedaCare Medical Center-Fond du Lac, delivering significant life-cycle savings and sustainable performance.

McElroy is pleased to announce that Steve Caldwell has been promoted to vice president of human resources.

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.
