About Us
VGSHPA is completely dedicated to promoting GeoThermal heating and cooling system technology as the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning systems available today.
Our objective is to promote the implementation of GeoThermal energy source driven GSHP systems, providing major reductions in energy costs, reducing energy consumption and providing a positive impact on the environment through carbon emissions reduction.
With our focus exclusively on GeoThermal GSHP technology, we strive to maintain a leadership role in the evolution of the GeoThermal technology sector. By providing education to the Residential, Commercial & Institutional communities, we expose the many benefits of this great renewable energy source technology.
We promote public awareness through education and communication.
We provide the groundwork and sustainable path for continued industry growth.
We increase knowledge, trust, and confidence among Geothermal end users .
Our Work
VGSHPA works with local and state Governments, the academic community, relevant scientific organisations and the media to promote information about the progress of the industry and its capabilities.
VGSHPA seeks to assist government development of incentive programs that will enable a larger pool of geothermal GSHP users to benefit and increasingly penetrate the national energy market in line with climate change and energy security policy goals that are in the national interest.
Our Goal To foster and accelerate the installation and use of Virginia's geothermal GSHP technology by:
- Clearly and accurately articulating the advantages and the progress of the industry;
- Cooperating across the industry to develop, collect, improve and disseminate information; and
- Developing constructive relationships with government, the investment community and the end user community
