Utilising Ground Source Heat Pumps For Energy
Ground source heat pumps offer a relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly way to use waste heat from the earth for heating and cooling both residential and commercial buildings. Initial set-up costs can be quite a bit higher than conventional air-source systems, but geothermal heat pumps offer substantially lower ownership costs over the long term.
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are systems that use the earth’s temperature to provide heating, cooling and hot water for commercial establishments and residential buildings. The systems are designed to take advantage of the fact that temperatures remain at a near constant level of between 7
