Ground source heat pumps for heating and cooling in the Mediterranean countries.

Author(s) : MENDRINOS D., CORBERÁN J. M., DA RIVA E., et al.

Summary

Geothermal energy is becoming all around Europe one of the most interesting sources of renewable energy for heating and cooling by ground coupled heat pumps. The EU Ground-Med project aims at demonstrating the sustainability of heat pump technology for heating and cooling of buildings in the Mediterranean climate. Within the framework of this project eight ground source heat pump systems are under construction and will be monitored, with heating capacities spanning from 14 to 75 kW. The main objective of Ground-Med is to demonstrate that a measured seasonal performance (SPF) higher than 5 can be obtained. As the SPF is determined not only by the heat pump unit, but also by its operating conditions, imposed by both the ground heat exchanger and the heating/cooling system of the building, integrated GSHP systems incorporating proper technological solutions are being developed.
