John C. Huang, Ph.D., P.E. This course provides an overview of geothermal exchange systems with a focus on their application in urban environments. We will explore the principles of geothermal heat pumps, the efficiency advantages of ground-source versus air-source systems, and the importance of thermal storage and balance in sustainable design. The course examines system configurations, including open and closed-loop systems, vertical boreholes, and hybrid approaches, highlighting their energy efficiency, environmental benefits, and considerations for retrofitting existing buildings. Real-world examples highlight how geothermal systems integrate with other sustainable technologies such as solar power, energy recovery ventilators (ERVs), and heat pump water heaters. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. Note to Webinar Attendees: Our live webinars (web seminars) are considered as "Courses of Learning" (live courses) by the New York State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying and as "Timed & Monitored Courses" by the Ohio State Board for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. Unlike the traditional seminars held in a classroom setting, our webinars deliver live instruction to your home or office. You will be able to interact directly with our instructor during a webinar through audio channel or chat box. However, you must attend the webinar at a scheduled date and time. We will verify your attendance through our online webinar platform. The certificate of completion will not be issued unless you attend the webinar and pass a quiz (all quiz questions will be reviewed during the webinar). Thank you for your cooperation.
