Two Geothermal Seminars Offered at Morrisville State College's Renewable Energy Training Center

Morrisville State College's Renewable Energy Training Center (RETC) is offering two seminars on geothermal heat pump systems.



Fundamentals of Closed-loop Geothermal Heat Pump Systems will be held Sept. 22 from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. This seminar covers the fundamentals of geothermal heat pump technology and will include discussions on water-to-air, water-to-water, and direct expansion heat pumps and ways to apply them in both forced air and hydronic systems.



Advanced Applications of Closed-loop Geothermal Heat Pump Systems will be held Sept. 23 from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Participants will learn about applications of multiple geothermal heat pump systems in large residential or commercial/industrial applications, and solar supplemented systems.



Both workshops will be presented by John Siegenthaler, P.E., a licensed professional engineer with more than 30 years of experience in designing hydronic systems.



Tuition for each seminar is $300. Scholarships are available to offset costs. The RETC is located in Shannon Hall.



Participants who successfully complete the courses will earn 7 PDH and .7 CEU.
