Seminar 2 -- Step 1: Assessing a Project Site for Geothermal Heat Pump Applications PDF

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

The first step on geothermal heat pump projects is assessing project sites for ground heat exchanger viability. This includes understanding the local regulatory requirements, permitting and hydrogeology. It also requires design engineers to estimate through calculation or testing the local formation properties and the size and type of ground heat exchanger. The speakers in this session discuss the science and engineering for selecting and developing site data application for designing ground heat exchangers on commercial projects.
