Seminar 7 -- The Why and the How of Geothermal Exchange: A Key Strategy for Cold Climate Electrification PDF

2024 ASHRAE Annual Conference

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

This session presents on Geothermal Exchange, the "Why" – overlaying water and air source heat pump efficiencies with power grid carbon intensities to explain why water source heat pumps make so much sense in cold climates, and The "How" - sharing practical considerations for design engineers informed by the knowledge and expertise of a drilling contractor.

1. Overlaying Heat Pump Efficiencies with Power Grid Carbon Intensities to Make the Case for Geothermal Exchange
   Nancy Kohout, Professional Engineer, SmithGroup, Washington, DC
2. The "How" of Geothermal Exchange: Design Considerations from the Driller's Perspective
   Kortney Lull, Midwest Geothermal, Grand Rapids, MI
