Abstract

The ground source heat pump (GSHP) is a highly efficient and renewable energy technology for space heating and cooling, with benefits including energy conservation and reduction in greenhouse gases emission. On the other hand, the GSHP installation under the ground might enhance pollutions in geo- heat environment due to thermal disturbance released from GSHP.
In this study, we culcurated the heat transfer coefficient and ground water flow based on the 3D geological model. Thenm we considered the best point for GSHP in part of Suginami and Setagaya district, Tokyo, Japan.
