SVL Coffee Break - Ecoforest
2026-06-17 10:00 - 11:00
PRESENTED BY: Charlie Bushby

HOSTED BY: Brent Danielson
DATE: Wednesday, June 17, 2026
TIME: 10:00 am CST
LOCATION: Online via Webinar
Geothermal heat pumps are a recurring topic right now — driven by interest in ITC opportunities, evolving legislation and being the most efficient systems available. But there’s a persistent misconception that equates geothermal with a specific delivery method: a borefield, complex external controls, and a large capital commitment. That framing is limiting projects before they get off the ground.
Ecoforest is not a geothermal heat pump manufacturer. We are a solution provider — and that distinction opens the conversation significantly. Our technology features inverter-driven compressors, hybrid source management, PV integration, and an all-in-one approach to heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. When a ground loop isn’t feasible, the question becomes: what is available? PVT, dry coolers, open-loop water, waste heat recovery, thermal storage — we adapt to the project, not the other way around. And we cover the plantroom controls and design as part of the package.
On the incentive side, two ITC pathways are worth considering: geothermal heat pump installations remain eligible under §48 credit and thermal energy storage systems qualify independently under §48E. With an operational envelope that can supply chilled water at -4 ºF and hot water at 149 ºF, the possibilities are significant. How creative can we get?
The broader point is: Ecoforest approaches every project as a solution provider. Our design team starts with what’s available — source, load, infrastructure, incentives — and builds from there. That flexibility and mindset is what makes us an option across a wide range of applications where a conventional geothermal specification would never make it. From ice rinks to wineries, through industrial processes, education, hotels, hospitals, offices and farms. You name it, we propose solutions.

SVL Coffee Break - Blue Frontier - Air Conditioning Reinvented: The Future of Ultra-Efficient HVAC with Embedded Energy Storage.
2026-03-25 10:00 - 11:00
PRESENTED BY: Matthew Kruse

HOSTED BY: Jeff P
DATE: Wednesday, March 25, 2026
TIME: 10:00 am CST
LOCATION: Online via Webinar
Blue Frontier’s technology to cool & dehumidify is an evolution away from refrigerants and the vapor compression cycle. It’s 300% more efficient than current technologies, contains a dispatchable thermal storage battery and can independently control db and dp, providing superior comfort. The hotter it gets, the more efficient we become.
Energy Efficiency: Up to 40-85% lower energy consumption (depending on Climate) compared to conventional systems.
Climate Control: Superior humidity control enables optimized indoor air quality and comfort. More comfortable spaces, more comfortable people.
Dispatchable Built-in Energy Storage: A “thermal rechargeable battery” helps shift energy consumption to less expensive off-peak hours, reducing strain on the grid, further lowering energy bills.
Resiliency: Uses low GWP refrigerants (or no refrigerants at all, depending on the application), lowering (or eliminating) greenhouse gas emissions.
Matthew Kruse is the V.P. of Sales at Blue Frontier, where he helps lead the commercialization of Blue Frontier’s next-generation HVAC technology. Matt holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Florida and an MBA from the University of South Florida. His career has been shaped by a passion for technologies that reduce energy use, operating costs and improve indoor air quality—values that align perfectly with Blue Frontier’s mission.
