This study attempts to promote new groundwater thermal management policies for the
shallow geothermal energy sector, which is currently at risk of stalling due to the existing …

This work is focused on the planning of rational heating systems for urban areas. District
heating is an important option to supply heat to the users in urban areas. The energy …

The eco-friendly zeotropic mixtures of R1233zd (E) with four hydrocarbons were
investigated to replace the traditional refrigerants (R22 and R134a) in heat pump water …

Shallow geothermal energy is currently adopted in many countries for the heating and
cooling of buildings. Interactions between close geothermal plants will become more and …

Groundwater heat pump (GWHP) system directly uses a stable temperature of groundwater
