Canada’s Association of Geothermal Heating and Cooling (CAGHC) celebrated and recognized the achievements of Professor Emeritus Frank Hooper (MIE), May 4, for his groundbreaking research on ground source heat pump heating and cooling technology.

The award was presented to Professor Hooper at the Faculty Club of the University of Toronto where the association also unveiled Canada’s first national bursary program for post-graduate studies related to geothermal heating and cooling.

His research in experimental residential heat pumps more than 60 years ago paved the way for the use of Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) technology.
