Learn to design cost effective geothermal systems in just 2 Days!
This two day comprehensive hands-on, real-world course was designed for geothermal installers and designers with design questions. Is there a better way to do it? What about radiant systems? Multi-zone commercial spaces? The authors of IGSHPA's new, 'Residential and Light Commercial Design and Installation Manual', put this course together to cover all the design issues you don't have time to cover in the popular IGSHPA installer course. Students will learn the proper way to design a geothermal system and get to practice with the guys who literally wrote the book.

2. It uses the IGSHPA manual. This isn't a proprietary software package, and you can use anybody's equipment in your design.
3. The instructor. A good instructor is key to any educational experience - this is a real expert who knows how to make complex subjects seem simple. And he is somebody you can contact down the road if you need help in the field.

Testimonials
"I've used the training and contacts that I made taking this course to install 5 systems to date with more on the way and they are all working great. I now include geothermal HVAC systems with my Plumbing Heating and Cooling Business. Thank you all for your efforts to bring this great old technology into the mainstream of America."

"Having had my own business since 1985 with 60+ employee's and having attending many workshops/seminars myself over that time, this PV workshop was one of the best organized and along with Ken's knowledge of the PV industry, made this three day workshop a complete success. Ken has the ability to pass on his knowledge of 12 years in the PV industry to a class made up of non electricians with great success. He is extremely patient and makes every effort to disseminate the large amount of technical information in only three days."
