International Ground Source Heat Pump Association
Established in 1987, the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA) is a nonprofit, membership-based organization that promotes geothermal heat pump technology. It is an outreach unit of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT) at Oklahoma State University.
Primary Efforts[]
IGSHPA is the main organization for establishing standards of practice and standards of design for Geothermal Heat Pump (GHP) systems in the US.[1] Related organizations have been formed in other countries on four continents, including Australia, Canada, China, India, South Korea, and Sweden.
Conferences[]
Each year the association hosts an annual conference for people such as manufacturers, contractors, distributors, and drillers.
Standards[]
IGSHPA sets and revises standards for Geothermal Heat Pump (GHP) system installs based on ongoing research and field application results.
