Abstract

Low depth geothermal heat exchangers can be efficiently used as a heat sink for building energy produced during summer. If annual average ambient temperatures are low enough, direct cooling of a building is possible. Alternatively the heat exchangers can replace cooling towers in combination with active cooling systems. In the current work, the performance of vertical and horizontal geothermal heat exchangers implemented in two office building climatisation projects is evaluated.
