Geothermal Educating Resources

[Jaret]

Hi All,

New to the forum. My interests lie within geothermal knowledge. I am a ticket plumber, and I want to move more into the geothermal installation realm. I was wondering if anyone has recommended reads? I have read a lot, I do want to know more about drilling depth in my region, heatpump and pump speed to optimize our cold climate. I am from Saskatchewan, and Geo is starting to catch on.

Any advice is appreciated.

Kind Regards,

J.

After several manufacture specific classes, we finally took this Accredited Installer Class..way better by far:

I would suggest taking the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition - Installers' Course. Or purchase a copy of CAN/CSA C-448-2 'Design and Installation of Earth Energy Systems'.
Should you decide to take the 'CGC' course, this document, C-448-2, will be included in you study guide material.

Here's the CGC link:

Good luck!
