A new philosophy towards the construction of green buildings is taking over.
Green buildings offer high returns for owners, leading to operational and maintenance
savings while providing occupants with a healthy environment.

Geothermal energy falls into this trend of sustainable development.

We’ve heard horror stories about geothermal energy, as with much simpler systems.

The only real obstacle to geothermal performance is a poor installation.

Let’s consider the following:

• Capacity required
• The correlation between the heating requirements and the capacity of the heat pump installed.
• The ground loop width depending on the soil type
• The fluid circulation in the loops
• The antifreeze/water proportion
• The water pipe size inside the building
• The water and air balancing

All this shows that even if the heat pump delivers the desired performance, it also depends on the dimensions of the systems installed, which requires high accurate calculations at the design phase.

In this case, one single element may be responsible for a poor performance of the entire system.
