The International Ground Source Heat Pump Association and Geothermal Exchange Organization officially designated April as International Geothermal Month in 2024 as an annual public awareness and outreach effort to spotlight the ground source heat pump. 

Throughout the month of April, Mission Geo will host a series of webinars in collaboration with GeoExchange showcasing benefits of geothermal heat pumps, including cost savings, workforce development, energy efficiency and grid resilience.

“International Geothermal Month is a time to celebrate the incredible benefits ground source heat pumps deliver, such as energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and grid resilience, when used to generate heating and cooling for homes and businesses,” said Eric Torykian, executive director of Mission Geo. “Ground source heat pumps also offer substantial business building opportunities for builders and HVAC contractors, architects and designers, drillers, and engineers.”

During International Geothermal Month, Mission Geo will serve as the pre-conference presenting sponsor for NY-GEO 2025, a two-day event for ground source heat pump professionals taking place in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., April 22-24. Pre-conference activities sponsored by Mission Geo include a Geothermal Borehole Drilling showcase and Geothermal Site Tours.

“As we approach Earth Day, we are excited to again recognize April as International Geothermal Month – a time to celebrate the notable advancements made over the last year in our industry,” said Jeff Hammond, executive director of IGSHPA.
