This is beneficial for SCWs to offer much higher heat transfer performance than other conventional approaches. The development of a numerical model for clusters of standing column wells is described in this thesis.

This new work takes advantage of the many lessons learned since the time of the original publication, when GSHPs were primarily residential applications.

Nor have tools for analyzing the energy consumption and supporting economics-based design decisions been available. The main contributions of this project lie in providing new tools that support design and energy analysis.

This comprehensive work is aimed at designers of HVAC systems, as well as geological, mechanical, and chemical engineers implementing environmentally-friendly heating and cooling technologies for buildings.

The book provides an authoritative overview of developments in closed loop GSHP systems, surface water, open loop systems, and related thermal energy storage systems, addressing the different technologies and component methods of analysis ...

Geothermal Heat Pumps is the most comprehensive guide to the selection, design and installation of geothermal heat pumps available.
