Certified Geothermal Inspections
Aztech Geothermal has four IGSHPA Certified Geothermal Inspectors (CGI): John Ciovacco, Geoff Hoffer, George Fishler and Austin Gross. Our inspection services have their foundation in the experience with hundreds of successful design-build geothermal projects. The CGI methodology is based on bi-national standard ANSI/CSA/IGSHPA C448 which is a reference for building & energy code development. As more designers and general contractors are engaged in GSHP buildings and Thermal Energy Networks (TEN), Aztech works to ensure industry standards are met, through a review of design/bid specifications and continuing through the construction and commissioning phases of projects.

Site Geological Assessment
We design of the ground heat exchanger consistent with the site geology and the heating and cooling loads of the building. Aztech Geothermal is co-located with our sister company, an environmental services firm, that employs 7 full time geologists. Soil, bedrock and ground water data are inputs to optimize loop design. The ground heat exchanger design is based upon our review of US Geological Survey Maps (soil and bedrock), site visits and discussions about known ground conditions in the area the ground loop will be placed.
