Ground Source Seminar
Wednesday 16 November 2011
Homerton College, Cambridge University

The GSHPA ran a well attended and lively seminar which brought together academia, government and commercial interests at an exciting time for the Association. The GSHPA has been working with DECC, MCS, BDA, the HPA and universities to develop standards for the ground source industry and, after a long gestation period, the Renewable Heat Incentive is introduced on 28 November 2011.
