Dan Rau, PE, has been involved in the geothermal industry since late 1999, when he first began his adventure into the field.
Rau started working for an engineering firm, where he specialized in the design of highly efficient geothermal heating and cooling systems. After he and his wife, Kari, moved to Colorado, he shadowed another geothermal driller in hopes of learning even more about the ins and outs of geothermal processes. He then utilized his engineering background — and his latest knowledge — to improve and build more efficient, safe and streamlined equipment, so installations would require less equipment and manpower.
