Abstract
The use of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems for heating and cooling applications has increased notably in recent years. GSHP heating systems extract heat using ground heat exchangers (GHE), with long lengths of pipes in horizontal systems, or deep vertical boreholes (from 40 to 300 m deep) with a higher cost of installation. On the other hand, nowadays, with the application of policies towards low energy buildings, heating loads have significantly reduced.
