IRVING, TX — The Plastics Pipe Institute’s Building & Construction Division has published a major revision of PPI TN-55 Plastic Piping Materials for Ground Source Geothermal Heating and Cooling ...

With a little guidance on ground-source heat pump design temperatures and a few rules of thumb for ground loop flow rates, most engineers are pretty comfortable designing the building side of a ground ...

The energy pile system consists of four main elements: the geostructure, the embedded heat exchanger, the heat pump unit, and the distribution system. Human civilization is currently evolving at an ...

Ground-source heat pumps, which tap into the stable temperatures found hundreds of feet beneath the Earth’s surface, are a super-efficient way to heat and cool homes. They’re also quite expensive to ...

If you're considering using a ground source heat pump to heat your home, you could be wondering what type of ground source heat pump problems you may encounter. Or, perhaps you have one and have a few ...

Heat pumps are often talked about as a single technology type, but in practice, there are two main systems used in UK homes: air source and ground source. Both systems work on the same principle, ...

Around 36,000 schools in the U.S. are in need of updated heating and cooling systems, according to the Government Accountability Office. Many students are trying to learn in environments that are too ...

The future is bright for a little known yet highly efficient method of heating and cooling, a new report by the U.S. Department of Energy concludes. Ground source heat pumps could heat and cool the ...

Researchers in Italy have designed a novel carbon dioxide heat pump that can work with photovoltaic-thermal energy, a finned coil heat exchanger and a U-tube borehole heat exchanger. Their experiment ...
