April Meeting - Ground Source Heat Pump Webcast

This month, our chapter will be participating in ASHRAE's annual webcast on April 21. This year the webcast is titled "Ground Source Heat Pump Systems – Putting the Earth to Work for You"

This is a chance to interact with leading heat pump experts and learn how site, climate, building, HVAC system and ground characteristics affect ground heat exchanger design, how ground source system design enhances efficiency, and how to avoid design and operations pitfalls. This free webcast is brought to you by the Chapter Technology Transfer Committee and sponsored by ClimateMaster, Mammoth, Taco, International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, and the ASHRAE Foundation. You can visit ASHRAE's webpage for further information.

Continuing education credits (PDH's), AIA credits, and USGBC credits can be earned by participating in this webcast.

Registration for this webcast is free. You may watch this at your own desk. But, why not join fellow engineers for lunch before and discussion afterward? We'll be setting up two viewing locations: one will be in South Bend and the other will be in Munster.

Joining us for lunch will cost $15. The webcast will occur between 1:00 and 4:00 pm EDT (12:00 to 3:00 pm CDT). Site locations will be announced in the next few days.

Also, coming up in May, we are excited to announce that we'll be hosting training for the new Indiana Energy Code. We are still working out the details on this. For now, we can say it will be held in Michigan City and will last from 1:00 and 5:00 pm EDT (12:00 to 4:00 pm CDT). Cost and location to be determined. Continuing education credits, AIA credits, and (possibly) USGBC credits can be earned by attending this. Please mark your calendar for what will be a very cost effective way to learn about the new Indiana Energy Code, earn continuing education credits, and networking.
