For a nonprofit located on the shores of Lake Michigan and an adolescent treatment center in Minnesota, geothermal heat pump systems have been an upfront investment that pays off in terms of maintenance, ROI, and effectiveness within an integrated sustainable design.
From sidewalks to hospital entrances and helipads, these systems are becoming a more common part of a project’s mechanical infrastructure. Examine differences between ASHRAE’s old and updated classifications, then review design considerations such as heat of evaporation, heat loss to the atmosphere, and back and edge losses. Tubing, spacing strategies, and controls round out the primer.
What if you could see into the future and see how your past health care
designs might affect a facility in the future? You can; you just need
to take the time to learn from the past. Or even better, learn from
the past of others whose designs didn’t go quite as well as they
had expected, thanks to this thoughtful interrogation from a forensic

From temperature differential’s effect on pumps over to an airside
