Guidelines, standards, certification and legal permits for ground-source heat pumps in the European Union.

Résumé

The paper gives a review on dedicated guidelines and standards for the thermal use of ground and ground water with heat pumps. Such documents currently exist only in countries with a mature ground-source heat pump (GSHP) market, like Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden. The topics covered are, among others: design and sizing of the ground part; installation of horizontal loops, borehole heat exchangers, ground-water wells, etc.; and environmental issues for protection of soil and ground water The first EN standard to explicitly include some GSHP technology is EN 15450. Beside technical standards issued by associations and by standards organisations, also guidelines and regulations issued by national or regional authorities have to be observed. These regulations typically concern the environmental part, and the rights of land owners to use the ground beneath their lots. The paper discusses the role of certain standards as a support, but sometimes also as a barrier to widespread application of GSHP technology. A certain harmonisation and the establishing of EU-wide standards needs to be considered.
