  In Canada, venting shall conform to the requirements of the current edition of the CAN/CSAB149.1-00 installation code.
  If any part of the vent system are exposed to ambient temperatures below 35 degrees F (2 degrees C) it must be insulated to prevent condensation.
  Vent connections must be made to an adequate stack or chimney. Size and install proper size vent pipe. Do not reduce pipe size to less than that of the blower outlet.
  Horizontal runs of vent pipe must have a minimum upward slope toward the chimney of 1/4 inch per foot (2cm per meter). Dampers or other obstructions must not be installed in between the heater and the blower. Be sure that the vent pipe does not extend beyond the inside wall of the chimney.
  Where a continuous or intermittent back draft is found to exist, the cause must be determined and corrected. A special vent cap may be required. If the back draft cannot be corrected by the normal methods or if a suitable draft cannot be obtained, a blower type flue gas exhauster must be employed to assure proper venting and correct combustion.

conversations.value: Below is a U.S. Department of Energy presentation of geothermal heat pump applications for residential construction.
  This type of system uses well or surface body water as the heat exchange fluid that circulates directly through the GHP system. Once it has circulated through the system, the water returns to the ground through the well, are charge well, or surface discharge. This option is obviously practical only where there is an adequate supply of relatively clean water, and all local codes and regulations regarding groundwater discharge are met.
  Large commercial buildings and schools often use vertical systems because the land area required for horizontal loops would be prohibitive. Vertical loops are also used where the soil is too shallow for trenching, and they minimize the disturbance to existing landscaping.

  Note that U.S. Standard Gauge (stainless sheet) is not directly comparable with the B&S Gauge (aluminum). A 20-gauge stainless averages.0375″ thick; while a 20-gauge aluminum averages.032″ thick; and 20-ounce copper is.027″ thick. The higher strength of stainless steel permits use of thinner gauges than required for aluminum or copper, which makes stainless more competitive with aluminum on a weight-to-coverage basis and provides stainless with a substantial weight saving compared to copper. For example. 100 sq ft of.032″ aluminum will weigh about 45 pounds..021″ (16-ounce) copper will weigh about 100 pounds, and.015″ stainless will weigh about 66 pounds.
