Environmental Performance of Innovative Ground
Space conditioning is responsible for the majority of carbon dioxide emission and fossil fuel consumption during a building''s life cycle. The exploitation of renewable energy sources, together with efficiency
Geothermal Heat Pumps
The ground provides a type of thermal energy storage, which allows GHPs to act as a heat sink—absorbing excess heat during summer, when surface temperatures are relatively higher—and as a heat source during the winter,
Geothermal Heat Pump: How It Works
The hot refrigerant transfers heat to air or water circulated through your home. The cooled fluid returns to the ground loop to repeat the cycle. In cooling mode, the geothermal heat pump removes excess heat from

Geothermal heat pumps: The ultimate guide to
Ground-source heat pumps are expensive to install. These costs can be offset by higher energy efficiency and long-term energy bill savings but this is something you need to consider against alternatives such as air
6 FAQs about [What is ground source energy storage]
What is a ground-source heat pump?
Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) – or geothermal heat pumps (GHP), as they are commonly termed in North America – are among the most energy-efficient technologies for providing HVAC and water heating, using far less energy than can be achieved by burning a fuel in a boiler/furnace or by use of resistive electric heaters.
What is a ground source heat pump?
Ground source heat pumps are recognized as one of the most efficient heating and cooling systems on the market. They are often the second-most cost-effective solution in extreme climates (after co-generation), despite reductions in thermal efficiency due to ground temperature.
What is a typical form of energy storage system (ATES)?
A typical form of ATES consists of a set of cold and warm wells, coupled through hydraulic pumps and heat exchangers, as shown in Fig. 1. [2-4,6] Depending on their volume and storage capability, multiple wells can be used to increase the energy storage capacity.
What is geothermal energy storage (BTES)?
Among geothermal energy technologies, BTES is the most common energy storage form for supplying cooling and/or heating to houses and buildings.
Where can I find a qualified ground source heat pump installer?
The International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA), Geothermal Exchange Organization (GEO), Canadian GeoExchange Coalition and Ground Source Heat Pump Association maintain listings of qualified installers in the US, Canada and the UK.
Where does geothermal energy come from?
Center for Sustainable Systems, University of Michigan. 2024. "Geothermal Energy Factsheet." Pub. No. CSS10-10. Geothermal Resource and PotentialGeothermal energy is derived from the natural heat of the earth.1 It exists in both high enthalpy (volcanoes, geysers) and low enthalpy forms (heat stored in rocks in the Earth’s crust).
