Energy Analysis and Cost-Effective Design Solutions for a Dual-Source Heat Pump System in Representative Climates in Europe

Enhancements of an Integrated Simulation Tool for Ground- Source Heat Pump System Design and Energy Analysis

Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) utilizes the immense renewable storage capacity of the ground as a heat source or sink to provide space heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. GSHP systems are generally comprised of water source heat pumps and ground heat exchangers (GHX). Vertical closed-loop GHX is used predominantly in commercial and institutional applications. Closed loop GHX consists of a...
