Geo-Education for a sustainable geothermal heating and cooling market

Ground Source Heat Pumps, GSHP, contribute greatly to energy saving and emission reduction. Research in Europe shows that one of the barriers to a sustainable and growing geothermal market is the lack of appropriate skilled personnel, and quality of design and works are not always satisfactory.
The objective of this project is to develop European Education programme as an important step towards the certification of geothermal installations. From the different groups of professionals involved in a GSHP, the GEOTRAINET project is focused on two target groups: designers (those who carry out feasibility and design studies, including geology) and drillers (who make the boreholes and insert the tubes).

TRAINING COURSE FOR DESIGNERS and DRILLERS IN GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP (GSHP) SYSTEMS, Brussels, Belgium, 24-26 January 2011

Venue: Museum of Natural Sciences, Rue Vautier 29, B-1000 Brussels

www.naturalsciences.be

The training course will be split on:

  • trainers for designers
  • trainers for drillers

Training for Designers

This training course will be of interest to those who have existing experience of the design of ground source heating and cooling (GSHC) systems and who wish to reinforce and further develop their professional competence in this field. The course will focus primarily on closed loop GSHC systems.

Training for Drillers

This course responds to the demand from the GSHP market. The Drillers normally have a background in mechanics and work for drilling companies in water, foundation engineering, etc.; only a few are SMEs fully dedicated to geothermal energy. The course programme is based on the curricula developed by Geotrainet European Experts Platform. This Experts Platform has developed an education programme including the necessary content and skills for shallow geothermal system drillers.

The course and supporting materials will be delivered in English

UPV

TRAINING COURSE FOR DESIGNERS OF GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP (GSHP) SYSTEMS, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Valencia Spain, 5th-7th July 2010

This training course will be of interest to those who have existing experience of the design of ground source heating and cooling (GSHC) systems and to those who are intending to develop professional competence in this field. The course will focus primarily on closed loop GSHC systems.

The course and supporting materials will be delivered in English and Spanish.

The number of places on the course is limited to 30 and first preference will be given to delegates from the European Union and European Economic Area. The Geotrainet consortium reserves the right to prioritise places on the course to those who are actively working or developing their capacity in the field of design of closed loop ground source heat systems.

Please send your application before 7th June to contact@geotrainet.eu
