Increasing use of the ground as a thermal reservoir is expected in the near future. Shallow
geothermal energy (SGE) systems have proved to be sustainable alternative solutions for …

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 …

Energy piles are a novel form of ground heat exchanger (GHE) used in ground source heat
pump systems. However, characterizing the pile and ground thermal properties is more …

This paper investigates the applicability of currently available analytical, empirical and
numerical heat flow models for interpreting thermal response tests (TRT) of quadratic cross …

Thermal response test (TRT) is a common procedure for characterization of ground and
borehole thermal properties needed for the design of a shallow geothermal heat pump …

In this contribution, we analyze the results of a number of thermal response test (TRT)
experiments performed during several years at the same location at our university campus in …

Human induced climate change is causing global temperatures to rise at an alarming rate.
This is caused by greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2, and much of this pollution …

A research project was developed in Spain to undertake some studies on the geothermal
use of pile foundations (PITERM PROJECT). The experiment consists of a specifically …
