The workshop will address the following areas:\n\nHow they work\nGround source heat suitability maps (GSI)\nBenefits to farmers\nInstallation and running costs\nThe Support Scheme for Renewable Heat\nCompatibility with existing heating system\nPlanning and potential pitfalls\nIntegrating green electricity\nExamples of heat pumps in action (Horticulture & Pigs)\n\nAttendance is free however booking is essential as numbers will be limited. \n \nAgenda\n\nIntroduction to Heat Pumps in Agriculture\nBarry Caslin, Teagasc\nOverview of Geological Survey Ireland’s geothermal programme\nSarah Blake, Geological Survey Ireland\nUsing shallow geothermal energy with heat pumps\nTaly Hunter Williams, Geological Survey Ireland\nHeat Pumps in the Dairy and Agribusiness sectors\nDavid Connolly, Astatine\nDeveloping Policy to Support Heat Pumps\nNick Vafeas. iCRAG, UCD\nFarm case study\nMike Cotter, Alternative Heating & Cooling (AHAC)\nIrish Heat Pump Association\nWalter Stephens, Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions Europe\n\nFollowed by discussion\n
