dc.description.abstract | Ground Heat Exchangers (GHEs), buried in the ground either horizontally or vertically (in a borehole), are coupled with a heat pump to form a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system, which is a type of Renewable Energy System that exploits geothermal energy for space heating and cooling. GSHP systems are proposed as an alternative to conventional Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) as they exhibit a higher efficiency. In this study, this difference in efficiency is tested in order to determine how the systems perform in terms of environmental impact. Three types of GSHP systems (with different GHE configuration), each compared to ASHPs, undergo a Life Cycle Analysis using the ReCiPe method from both mid-point and end-point perspectives. The heating and cooling loads required for a single residential building of area 220 m2, with nearly Zero Energy Building technical characteristics, is used as a Functional Unit, for seven cases (locations/countries) from South to North Europe. Additionally, a Simple Payback Period method is employed to investigate the CO2 payback time for the GSHPs. It is concluded that the use of GSHP systems in residential buildings, even with nZEB (nearly Zero Energy Buildings) characteristics of low heating/cooling demand, can be a more environmentally friendly solution than that of an ASHP system, depending on the factors affecting the system, namely the ground thermal characteristics, the heating/cooling demand, the heating/cooling peak loads and electricity mix. | en_US |
