Learn About the Next Evolution of Infrastructure from Our Clean Energy: Geothermal Energy Exchange Webinar

May 10, 2022
Thermal Energy or Clean Energy is the reduction or elimination of carbon dioxide from energy sources. For example, heat pumps are a clean energy source for water heating and comfort cooling and heating. We will be joined by subject matter expert on geothermal HVACR technologies, Jay Egg. Join us on Thursday, August 18th at 3:00 p.m. Eastern.

Thermal Energy or Clean Energy is the reduction or elimination of carbon dioxide from energy sources. For example, heat pumps are a clean energy source for water heating and comfort cooling and heating. A heat pump water heater captures heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to the water inside the tank. Moving the heat instead of generating heat allows the system to operate more efficiently. This type of work is the everyday work of MCAA contractors.

Installing and servicing heat pumps will lead to significant state and federal financial incentives such as rebates, tax credits, loans, grants, and more. MCAA members are in the unique position to help reduce the carbon footprint of any city or state.

MCAA President Robert M. Bolton will be joined by subject matter expert on geothermal HVACR technologies, Jay Egg. Egg began a career in mechanical design engineering & contracting. As an expert consultant, Jay sits on several technical code committees internationally; notably the technical committee for the IAPMO Uniform Mechanical Code. Jay has co-authored two McGraw-Hill Textbooks focused on geothermal HVAC technologies, and continues to write curriculum and lecture on the merits of Clean Heating and Cooling technologies.
