Ground Source Heat Pumps: Design of Geothermal Systems For Commercial and Institutional Buildings /90376 by Steve Kavanaugh, Mildred Geshwiler, Kevin Rafferty pdf epub fb2

The HVAC engineer today is faced with many challenges which include cost constraints, indoor air quality, legal liability, and rapidly expanding building code complexity. Too often designers are reluctant to learn and incorporate newer technology because it is just one more thing that could go wrong. However, when Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) are properly applied, they are a system that can help the engineer overcome the many barriers to satisfying building owners. The goal of this book is to assist GSHP designers in their efforts to create high quality systems for commercial and institutional buildings at reasonable costs.
