This article present a review of the status of research within the exploitation of renewable
energy sources with a focus on the status of technologies exploiting renewable energy …

At present, geothermal energy is a promising research area but with a series of unknowns
waited to be explored. Recently, the U-shaped closed loop geothermal extraction system …

The ongoing depletion of shallow resources has led to the mining of progressively deeper
deposits, where high-temperature thermal stresses pose heat hazards and threaten worker …

Solar assisted ground source heat pump systems (SAGSHPs) have been recently
scrutinized by many researchers as it was verified that they have increased the share of …

Abstract Ground-Coupled Heat Pumps (GCHPs) are regarded as an effective technology for
building energy development and residential hot water production. The essential challenges …

Heat transfer between ground heat exchangers (GHE) and the soil is highly important for the
overall efficiency of geothermal heat pump systems. Therefore, the present study …

Buildings are one of the most important emitters of CO2, causing climate change. This fact,
together with the finiteness of conventional energy, results in the Zero Energy Building (ZEB) …

Increasing concerns over anthropogenically-induced climate change are driving the search
for alternative, renewable, clean technology to generate energy. Heat pumps are an efficient …
