PHCPPros is continuing our new virtual education series this August! The new series features premium, in-depth courses led by top industry experts. 

Our next course, "Introduction to ANSI / CSA / IGSHPA C448 Series – 16 - Design and Installation of Ground Source Heat Pump Systems for Commercial and Residential Buildings," will be held live on Monday, Aug. 9 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. CDT. Attendees will be able to earn 2.0 LU | HSWs through the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and 0.2 CEUs through the International Code Council (ICC). 

Instructors Jay Egg, CMC, and Kristy Egg BSPH, RN, will introduce attendees to ANSI / CSA / IGSHPA C448 Series – 16 and provide an overview of the design and installation of ground source heat pump systems for commercial, residential and institutional buildings. This course will help architects, engineers, tradespeople, facilities managers and building owners become fluent with regard to heat pump implementation. The instructors will teach attendees how to install vertical configured closed-loop ground source heat pump systems; install horizontal configured closed-loop ground source heat pump systems; and install surface water (including submerged exchangers) heat pump systems. This course will also review the recommended best practices for the safe operation of buildings, including closure and reopening of building HVAC and water systems with a focus on COVID-19 and Legionella management. 

Attendees can register for the two-hour course at https://bit.ly/2W78cW1. The price to attend is $39.

Meet the Instructors:

Jay Egg, Egg Geo, LLC, is a geothermal HVAC consultant, author and speaker. After serving in the U.S. Navy nuclear power field, he began a career in mechanical design engineering and contracting. Now, as an expert consultant, Jay sits on several technical code committees internationally, and is currently engaged as a member of the Legionella Task Group for the 2024 IAPMO Uniform Mechanical Code. He has co-authored two McGraw-Hill textbooks focused on geothermal HVAC technologies, and he continues to write curriculum and lecture on the merits of clean heating and cooling technologies.

Kristy Egg is a registered nurse, public health and epidemiology professional with a keen interest in environmental, community and public health programs. Over the past decade she has studied and developed a definite interest, bordering on obsession, in Legionella outbreaks in cooling towers. She now assists with water management programs, and she is quickly becoming a respected resource on Legionella-associated biofilms. This has led her to pursue additional education, certification and teaching in the public health and epidemiological arena.
