Cel Heat pumps use a "free" medium to either extract (heating) or inject energy (cooling). For each kilowatt of energy expended 4 kilowatts or more of heating or cooling power is provided. Significant reductions of energy cost (50%), fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions (6%) are possible. Using the ground as a heat source/sink has many advantages compared to other sources (air or surface water): the ground temperature is stable, it has very good thermal properties, is generally available, does not produce any noise and is constructed out of sight. The market potential of ground couplet heat exchangers in Europe has so far not been realised, due to several factors. Current design practice leads to too expensive or prohibitively sized ground loop systems. Fragmented knowledge and experience, some environmental considerations and uncertainty about actual system quality and performance further hamper implementation. This proposal is aimed at providing a technical and organisational framework to tackle these questions within the European context. Our aim is to provide new tools for design, design verification, and in site estimation techniques of critical design soil-parameters in regard to ground-coupled heat exchangers.
