Please join us for our first monthly on-site class and walkthrough at the zHome site. Click this link for directions to the site. We have now completed the ground source heat pump wells, and are starting to tie the wellfield together with a larger manifold. We are also starting to prepare concrete foundation work. At the class, we’ll be giving a quick overview of the project and upcoming activities. We will be talking through our work to date: The well drilling and install process generally; issues that have come up with the well drilling, which forced a reconfiguration and expansion of the ground source field; how the well field manifold tie together process works; and working with high flyash content concrete.

Mark your calendars for this monthly event, which will be the first Thursday of the month from 3:30 to 4:30 – upcoming walkthroughs will be on July 1, August 5, and September 2. This will be a great hands on way to track and understand this innovative project as it moves toward completion.
