Welcome to the Colorado Geo Energy and Heat Pump Association (CoGEHPA), a professional member organization dedicated to educating the public and private industry about geo energy technology and its applications. Through education and training, we seek a wider use of this technology throughout the state while ensuring the highest quality systems and services for Colorado residents, businesses and institutions.
CoGEHPA embraces three major sectors of geo energy:
- Geoexchange - also known as ground source heat pumps or geothermal heat pumps. Utilizes the relatively constant temperature of the earth to transfer heat energy into and out of buildings via heat pump technology.
- Geo Electricity – producing electricity from deep, high temperature geothermal energy resources.
- Direct Use – using geothermally heated water directly for recreational hot springs, aqua farming, greenhouses, district heating and other applications.
Our goals include -
- Improve public awareness and education
- Train installers, builders and designers
- Collect performance data
- Monitor and engage in legislative affairs
- Establish quality assurance standards
- Develop a geo energy community
If you are a professional engaged in any aspect of geo energy, from using geoexchange to improve energy efficiencies for the built environment to geothermal power production, we invite you to join CoGEHPA. You will quickly discover a community that offers leading edge knowledge and valuable business opportunities.
We are a people focused organization that stands ready to help you with all of your geoexchange needs. Let us help you "tap the heat beneath your feet!"
