In the latest installment of "Engineering Tomorrow," Brian Gomski engages with Joe Parsons from ClimateMaster, dissecting the complexities of geothermal tax incentives following recent legislative changes. As the Senior Marketing Sustainability Manager, Joe provides a wealth of insight into how these incentives can benefit commercial entities. The ClimateMaster, a seasoned player in the HVACR industry, has seen remarkable growth since 2004, expanding from a specialized air handler manufacturer to a comprehensive provider of custom HVACR solutions. This episode offers an exclusive look at the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which has dramatically increased tax credits for geothermal installations. With Joe's guidance, listeners will navigate the intricate details of qualifying for these benefits, from understanding the significance of the thermal transfer of systems to the implementation of prevailing wage rates and apprenticeship programs. ClimateMaster's trajectory from a small-scale operation to over 700 employees and 230,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space illustrates the robust potential for scaling up in the geothermal sector. Tune in as we explore the impact of the new tax credits on both commercial and non-profit organizations.

Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/c/engineeringtomorrowusa/videos The great debate. There are predominantly 2 types of cooling towers - counterflow and crossflow. The primary distinction between crossflow and counterflow cooling towers is how the air passing through the cooling tower interacts with the process water being cooled. In a crossflow tower, air flows horizontally across the direction of the falling water, whereas air flows in the opposite direction (counter) to the direction of the falling water in a counterflow tower. Join host Brian Gomski with cooling tower experts Troy Gladstone and Ryan Miller as we evaluate both options in detail and label one cooling tower type the predominant choice and winner in most scenarios.…
