The International Ground Source Heat Pump Association is a nonprofit, member-driven organization established in 1987 to advance ground source heat pump technology on local, state, national and international levels. The mission of the association and its membership—nearly 2,500 members from more than 20 countries—is to promote the use of ground source heat pump technology worldwide through education and communication.

Headquartered on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla., IGSHPA pioneered GSHP training to ensure quality installations and serves as the sole source for standards publications and guidebooks. IGSHPA utilizes state-of-the-art facilities for conducting GSHP system installation training and geothermal research. With access to the most current advancements in the geothermal industry, IGSHPA is the ideal bridge between the latest technology and the people who benefit from these developments.

While ground source heat pump technology has a long, documented history, James Bose is regarded as the creator of the systems’ modern application. Today, Bose serves as executive director of the association.
