Design and installation of ground source heat pump systems for commercial and residential buildings

ANSI/CSA/IGSHPA C448.3-16 - Installation of vertical configured closed- loop ground source heat pump systems 

Scope

1.1
This Standard applies to vertical closed-loop ground heat exchangers that are to be connected to a ground source heat pump system and used as a thermal source or sink for heating and cooling applications. Vertical closed-loop ground heat exchangers that are intended for connection to a direct expansion ground source heat pump are covered under ANSI/CSA C448.8. 

1.2
This Standard also applies to the vertical closed-loop ground heat exchanger portion of a thermal energy storage system. 

1.3
This Standard covers the minimum requirements for site survey, material selections, installation, testing and verification, documentation, commissioning, and decommissioning. 

1.4
The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only. 

1.5
In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard. 

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. 

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. 

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (nonmandatory) to define their application.
