Ground Source Heat Pumps in Whitehorse:
​From Bedrock to Boreholes

Picture

Sarah Newton has been characterizing ground thermal properties in the Whitehorse area to assess the potential for ground source heat‑pump systems for direct‑use heating. This work helps to understand where bedrock and unconsolidated aquifers can support efficient, low‑carbon heating, reducing reliance on diesel‑derived electricity and heating fuels. In this presentation, they shared recent research results—including thermal‑response test data—that inform where and how this technology might be deployed in Whitehorse.
