Combating urban heat islands : assessing the potential of open-loop geothermal heat pump systems in Canada
… to help address the growing issue of urban heat islands, yet their suitability has remained underexplored. This study presents an assessment of urban aquifer suitability for cooling with groundwater heat pump (GWHP) systems in 10 Canadian cities. A numerical model was then developed for a …

Deep Energy Foundations: Geotechnical Challenges and Design Considerations
Traditionally, geothermal boreholes have utilized the ground energy for space heating and cooling. In this system, a circulation loop is placed in a small-diameter borehole typically extending to a depth of 200-300 ft. The hole is then backfilled with a mixture of sand, bentonite and/or cement. The …
