In this course, "Building Officials Guide to Inspecting Air & Ground Source Heat Pumps," Building Officials will become familiar with operations and processes when inspecting air and ground source heat pumps. In addition, participants will learn how earlier versions of heat pumps operated. This will lead to a discussion of what makes modern system functionality more efficient in northern climates.
Upcoming webinar on May 14, 2021, about reframing the policy discussion on geothermal heat pump systems.

Did you see the City of Toronto, 2018 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Report?
↓↓↓
Toronto must cut community-wide GHG emissions in half in the next 10 years to achieve the City’s 2030 target of a 65% reduction, based on 1990 levels. To reach net zero by 2050 all emissions must be eliminated.
See where they are.
