Join a webinar on geo exchange systems as part of the campus decarbonization journey! Learn about geo exchange systems including how energy is generated and its various applications. We’ll cover stages of geo exchange project development, from exploration to operation, and discuss the barriers to implementation on campuses. Additionally, learn about the operational and maintenance requirements to ensure long-term efficiency and sustainability.
Learning Objectives:
– Attendees will understand the stages of geo exchange project development, from exploration and drilling to construction and operation.
– Attendees will be able to define geothermal energy and explain how it is generated from the Earth’s heat.
– Attendees will identify the different types of geo exchange energy systems and their applications.
– Attendees will understand barriers to implementing geo exchange systems on their campuses
– Attendees will understand the operational and maintenance requirements for geothermal energy systems to ensure their long-term efficiency and sustainability
Speakers include:
