Design and Installation Standards (#21035):
Weight: 1 lb.
IGSHPA Standards Committee Mission:
The objective of this committee is to write industry standards that:
- help protect the environment and our natural resources,
- help to ensure the thermal performance of the critical components of the system, and
- are written in such a manner as to allow for new innovations and ideas that might improve the first two objectives.
IGSHPA has led the way in providing a complete set of standards for GHP
systems. This 2011 updated edition incorporates all the changes recommended
by the IGSPA Standards Committee since 1994, and is a must for everyone
involved in the GHP industry. This manual covers design and installation
standards for closed-loop ground heat exchangers, pipe placement and backfilling,
indoor piping and circulation systems, geothermal heat pumps, and site
planning, records, and restoration.
