Schedule (pdf)
News Release
The Utah Geothermal Working Group sponsored a two-day workshop on ground-source
heat pump (GHP) applications and direct-use of geothermal resources at
the Quality Inn Airport, Salt Lake City, Utah on March 22-23, 2006.
The first day was devoted to ground-source heat pumps and included talks
on utilization history, current installations, case studies, and operational
experience in the western United States. The second day was devoted to
direct-use application of geothermal resources and included talks on the
nature of the resource, geothermal well completion, economics of direct-use
projects, and case studies of various direct-use applications in the western
United States. Afternoon field trips to GHP and geothermal direct-use
sites followed each of the morning technical sessions.
This workshop was co-sponsored by the Utah Geothermal Working Group,
U.S. Department of Energy GeoPowering the West, Sound Geothermal, Oregon
Institute of Technology Geo-Heat Center, Washington State University Energy
Program, University of Utah Energy & Geoscience Institute, and the
Utah Geological Survey State Energy Program.
