New GHP Industry Surveys
September 22, 2011
Oak Ridge
National Laboratory is working with GEO and IGSHPA on developing the first
national certification standard for all primary personnel involved in the
installation of geothermal heat pump (GHP) systems as defined in GHP System
Disciplines 07-06-2011. The standard will be designed to increase customer
confidence in the technology, reduce the potential for improperly installed
systems, and assure product quality and performance.
ORNL is conducting a series of surveys on federal experience with GHP systems to identify common causes for faulty functioning of systems, industry best practices for GHP system design, installation, maintenance, the key barriers that prevent wide application of GHP systems and the qualifications and requirements of all personnel involved in GHP system deployment in federal facilities. Additionally, GHP industry stakeholder opinions of the current GHP discipline classifications and qualifications and requirements for GHP disciplines will be surveyed.
For complete details and to take the surveys, visit the ORNL Surveys website.
