When choosing a geothermal system designer be sure to look for the LoopLink Certified Seal. This symbol lets you know that your system designer has been trained not just by the makers of the earth's best geothermal design software but by the authors of the industry standard Design and Installation Manual issued by the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA).
The LoopLink™ Certified Designer program is a joint effort between GeoConnections and the HeatSpring Learning Institute designed to make experienced geothermal system designers- expert geothermal system designers.
The goal of the program is to reward industry professionals who have taken the time and effort to educate themselves by recognizing them with this unique distinction and ultimately helping them to connect with homeowners looking for qualified designers.
To become a LoopLink Certified designer, you must pass an intensive six week online course we have dubbed "Geothermal Designer Boot Camp". The class is designed as a hands on training for those that already have experience in the geothermal heating and cooling field.
