Renewable Energy Speaker Series: Ground Source Heat Pumps
Posted on: Oct 13, 2022
Human-caused climate change is real. The science is irrefutable. Severe, even deadly, weather is increasing and will continue to get worse. The cause is greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere which change weather patterns.
What can we do about it? We can move away from carbon! But to what?
Join us to learn about ground source heat pumps as an option for reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.

His fascination with ground coupled heatpumps resulted in his design of the XHE line which NRCC found to be the most efficient in the world.
