UW-Madison is working toward a future where energy systems are cleaner, more resilient, and rooted in collaboration. District Geothermal Exchange (GHX) is a powerful example—offering a sustainable way to heat and cool buildings while reducing carbon emissions and cutting energy costs.
Join Dr. James Tinjum, Associate Professor in the College of Engineering, as he explores how GHX systems work, why they matter, and how they’re already making an impact here in Wisconsin and beyond.
What you’ll learn
- How district GHX systems reduce emissions and energy costs
- The science and strategy behind geothermal exchange
- Real-world examples from Wisconsin and other regions
- Opportunities to get involved in clean energy efforts
Registration is required
This seminar is FREE and open to everyone—students, faculty, professionals, and community members who care about sustainability, innovation, and the future of energy. Can’t make it in person? A virtual option is available.
