GSHP Standards

The GSHP Standards have been drawn up by the GSHPA to help designers and installers of ground source systems, architects and engineers to specify a high level of design and installation for ground source systems.

Overview

GSHP Standards define a high level of design, installation quality and maintenance to protect the environment and maintain the reputation of the industry. They are designed to help contractors and sub-contractors employing specialist companies to install ground source systems that comply with the Standards.

The GSHP Standards provide concise information for the materials and general specification of installations. They are not installation or training manuals. The Standards must be referred to in conjunction with design qualifications and training programmes. The GSHP Standards are designed to enable reference to minimum materials specification, techniques and qualification requirements and ensure that installations comply with the Standards and to help contractors to employ companies that comply with the Standards.
