A laymans introduction into what geothermal is:By CustomerThis book appears to be intended as an introductory piece for the residential homeowner or individual that has little or no knowledge on geothermal systems the differences in system types that exist. The book does a fairly decent job In so far as that introduction to the subject is concerned. Additionally; it does provide some introduction to the concept of heat transfer and HVAC principles for the layman/consumer. The remainder of the subject matter is essentially 3 things: 1) a bit of good advertising; 2) some self-promotional hype and 3) just a touch of rambling-salesmen thrown in for decent effect.That being said; there are lots of good general facts - but the reader should be aware that many of the authors opinions are intermixed with those facts; someone not familiar with the subject matter already may not readily recognize the transition.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Perfect for homeowners who want to save money! Love it!By CustomerI recently became acquainted with Geothermal HVAC; a green; money saving technology and wanted to find out more. As we all know the internet can roughly explain anything to you; but I wanted a more detailed explanation before I even considered purchasing a system. I looked around to see if there was a simple book or website on the subject and I found "Geothermal HVAC; Green Heating and Cooling" by Jay Egg and Brian Howard Clark. This book told me everything that I wanted and needed to know. From the basics of what geothermal is; heat pumps and how they apply; ground loops (open and closed); load sharing; system efficiency; load calculations; reasonable prices; local and federal incentives; tax credits and rebates; project proposals and so much more. The book contained detailed descriptions as well as pictures and graphs. I was surprised by how easy the authors made the subject seem and thoroughly enjoyed their personal humor and anecdotes. I feel so much more comfortable about pursuing geothermal HVAC for my home after reading this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Just an advertisement for his own serviceBy R. MurrayComplete crap; you will have to PAY for an advertisement for the authors own service. No real facts or useful information; everything is "beyond the scope of this book" If you had just left out the shameful self-promotion you would have had room for -- I dont know -- a book about geo-thermal HVAC!
