Shallow
Geothermal Energy
For heating and
cooling buildings, shallow geothermal energy becomes more and more
popular. It is available day and night and independent of
price changes of fossile fuels. The number of shallow
geothermal installations has increased considerably during
the last years. Besides domestic applications, a growing
part of districts and commercial buildings use geothermal
heat as a sustainable energy source for heating, cooling
and warm water supply.
However, the
comparatively high investment costs for construction
require a thorough planning of the system, regarding both
the desired heating and cooling loads, as well as the
geological situation. Since these installations are
intended for a long life cycle, it is important to predict
their behaviour for several decades. The Geophysica
Beratungsgesellschaft mbH provides engineering and
consulting services for ground heat exchange and open
water systems.
We provide
following services:
-
Site investigation (geology/hydrogeology)
-
Determination of thermal
properties in the laboratory
-
borehole measurements
-
Analysis of geothermal
response tests (GRT)
-
Optimized design:
Simulation of open and closed geothermal installations
-
Long term modeling
-
Planning and design of
subsurface storage systems
-
Permit procedure and
cost optimization
We adapt our
services to the individual requirements and offer flexible
technical solutions. We use standard software (EWS) and we
develop our own codes for simulation.
