The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

This authoritative guide provides a basis for understanding the emerging technology of
ground source heating and cooling. It equips engineers, geologists, architects, planners and …

The thermal use of the shallow subsurface is increasingly being promoted and implemented
as one of many promising measures for saving energy. A series of questions arises …

The need to address the global challenge of using clean energy, mitigating climatic changes
and favoring sustainable development, has promoted the diffusion of new technologies for …

Common approaches to the simulation of borehole heat exchangers assume heat transfer
within the circulating fluid and grout to be in a quasi-steady state and ignore axial …

This paper presents a comprehensive field testing programme conducted in Mirabel,
Quebec, that aims to demonstrate the thermal effectiveness of a standing column well …

With the increasing concern on drilling costs in geothermal industry, more attention has
been paid to the open loop geothermal system (OLGS) in a single well. For the OLGS, a …

The aim of this paper is to present an optimal control algorithm to manage borehole thermal
energy storage systems (BTES). Such a system gets exhausted, if it is employed intensively …

The abandoned workings of the former Markham Colliery are still in the process of flooding.
They are being exploited, via a 'standing column'heat pump arrangement in Markham No. 3 …

Standing column wells offer a generous and flexible solution to improve the energy
efficiency of the built environment. As these systems behavior is strongly affected by …
