How new standards are shaping the future of geothermal energy networks
Explore the evolving regulatory landscape for ambient temperature loops. This lecture from MIT OpenCourseWare examines the latest codes and standards essential for transforming our thermal energy systems through geothermal innovation.
Delivered during the January IAP 2025 session of 'Geothermal Energy Networks: Transforming Our Thermal Energy System', this presentation by Mark Metzner provides a technical overview of the emerging frameworks governing geothermal technology. The lecture focuses on the latest developments in Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) and Geothermal Energy Networks (GENs).
A key highlight of the session is the new edition of the CSA/ANSI/IGSHPA C448-2025 standard, released by the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association. Understanding these updated codes is critical for the implementation of scalable, sustainable thermal energy infrastructure.
