A new Geo 101 (free!) online course is available on IGSHPA’s LMS (Learning Management System)!
Ground source (geothermal) heat pumps are not new. However, many are not aware of the technology, simply because this technology is a relatively small percentage of the heating and cooling industry. That is about to change! As concerns about the electric grid and energy security are becoming important topics, especially as data centers are expanding, GSHPs (Ground Source Heat Pumps) are the solution in many ways!
IGSHPA’s Geo 101 self-paced, one hour, free, online course provides a comprehensive overview of GSHPs, covering everything you need to know about:
- How GSHP technology works
- Geothermal Energy vs. Geothermal Heating and Cooling / terminology
- Residential/commercial applications and system design options
- Real-world performance data
- Available U.S. federal tax incentives
- Emerging trend of Thermal Energy Networks
- Key industry challenges
- And more …
Whether you’re a homeowner exploring clean energy upgrades, a building professional looking to expand your expertise, or a utility seeking peak demand solutions — this is your starting point.
Discover how ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are transforming heating and cooling — delivering over 400% efficiency, slashing energy costs, and tapping into the renewable thermal energy right under your property.
📘 What you’ll learn:
- How GSHPs use the earth’s constant temperature for ultra-efficient climate control
- Equipment options from packaged units to hydronic systems
- Incentives that make the switch more affordable than ever
- Industry standards, training pathways, and certification opportunities through IGSHPA
