In-depth, practical details on geothermal HVAC systems

This definitive guide covers commercial and residential geothermal heating, ventilation, and air conditioning technologies and explains how to take advantage of their money- and energy-saving features. Geothermal HVAC: Green Heating and Cooling reviews the array of choices currently available, offers market values for systems based on varying options and conditions, and describes how to pair the best systems for each application and budget. Whether you're a contractor or a consumer, you'll find out what you need to know to implement a geothermal HVAC system in a retrofit or new construction project, and start benefiting from this sustainable, affordable technology.

Find out how to:

Learn the basic types of heat transfer--convection, conduction, and radiationUnderstand how geothermal earth-coupled heat pumps workDetermine which ground loops to use for earth coupling to best meet the demands of the siteUse load sharing to channel the heat differential of one device into useful energy for anotherCalculate system efficiencies and heat gain and lossUnderstand geothermal project proposals and system pricingBenefit from incentives, tax credits, and rebates for geothermal HVAC systemsCalculate your long-term return on investmentVerify that your installed system is working as intendedTroubleshoot your system and avoid common problems
