BETSRG goes to China 

In March of 2003, Dr. Spitler, Xiao, and Liu all went to China.  We gave seminars at the Beijing University of Technology, Shandong Institute of Architecture and Engineering, and Tsinghua University.  We toured a number of ground source heat pump installations.  In addition, we had a chance to do some sightseeing.  (and Dr. Spitler had a one week immersion course in chopstick utilization!)
