Greenhouse gas emissions produced by fossil fuels are causing a slow change of the
climate's conditions. Air conditioning systems in engineering superstructures demand a …

Geothermal energy piles (GEPs) are an environmentally friendly energy source which utilise
the low-grade heat energy present in the shallow earth surface to provide heating and/or …

Geothermal energy piles are increasingly luring attention in the construction industry as a
cost-effective and environmental friendly solution for heating and cooling buildings. Energy …

Abstract Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) have been installed all around the world to
harvest shallow geothermal energy for heating and cooling building envelopes. However …

A number of full-and small-scale physical tests, and numerical studies examining the
behaviour of thermally-activated piles have now been published. Collating studies involving …

Energy geostructures provide a profitable solution for structural support as well as the
heating and cooling of buildings. However, their activation can produce in structure and its …

A number of full-and small-scale tests and numerical studies examining the behaviour of
isolated thermal piles have now been published. The results have been collated and …

Numerous full-scale in situ tests have been conducted to assess the effect of thermal cycles
on the pile response. However, those studies investigated the response of only precast and …

The energy pile test at Lambeth College, London was first reported just over 10 years ago;
however, the original appraisal of the test only looked at the thermal response at the end of …

Energy geostructures are renewable-energy solutions that are strongly recommended as
mitigation policy tools for facing the issue of global warming. Meanwhile, ongoing climate …
