Abstract:<p>Low enthalpy geothermal applications such as ground coupled heat pumps (GCHP) and groundwater heat pumps (GWHP) are an attractive low-carbon solution for heating and cooling of buildings. Their efficiency depends on the subsurface thermal properties (e.g. thermal conductivity, heat capacity) and the hydrogeological/thermal regimes (e.g. groundwater flow, depth of the water table, temperature profile). The geothermal potential is an indicator used to quantify and compare the ability to exchange… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
