Recommendations for the planning and implementation of new GSHP systems in dense urban environments and related tool

The deliverable will include a set of adaptable recommendations based on key regulatory and technical aspects of implementation with regard to integration of new GSHP systems in dense urban environments. The aim is to reduce management problems and thermal interference in areas where a high density of perforations are present and where ground heat exchanger systems are in close proximity to each other. The recommendations will facilitate improved management and sustainability of underground resources and the development of regulations that should nowadays include this theme and give indications and limits to allow for the correct planning and placement of boreholes.
Differences existing among places (position, length and age of boreholes, type of ground...), thermal and technical aspects and best practices concerning the problem of thermal interference between near installations will be taken into account and evaluated in developing the set of recommendations. These recommendations will be also useful for the correct use of dedicated decision support tool developed in the project.

Preliminary cost and business analysis for different levels of renovation in different types of building, climates and underground conditions

This deliverable will provide the results of the preliminary cost study which is performed according to the buildings, climates and underground conditions that are modelled in task 1.3. The study will provide cost levels for different insulation and HVAC configurations as well as national costs of materials, insulations, operations and installation. These will be compared to the modelled energy results of the previous tasks in order to obtain economic KPIs that can highlight the potential of the solutions being developed. A database of economic KPIs related to the project comprising investment gaps between conventional and geothermal solutions, ROI and simple payback periods and cost benefit analyses for different renovation, building, climate and underground typologies and conditions at the European level will be provided as a result of these actions.

Regulatory analysis overview guide on the implementation of renewables and GSHP in retrofit scenarios and historical buildings

A report summarising the regulatory conditions of implementation of the EPDB in the context of the potential for deployment of GSHP systems to both retrofit and historical buildings will be completed. The deliverable will summarise those regulations or best practice guidelines that are in place at the case study sites that are specific to the refurbishment of historical buildings in the context of the integration of renewables and energy efficiency measures. Where these specific measures are not available, the deliverable will summarise adopted guidelines and best practices used in the context of the virtual and real case study sites considered in the project, identifying these as potential pillars for consideration in other jurisdictions with specific focus given to those most relevant to GSHP technologies (drilling, heat exchanger and heat pumps) developed in the project. The deliverable will facilitate the completions of guidelines for the integration of GSHP systems in historical buildings to be presented in D6.7 and in the development of the Business Innovations Models in WP7.

Preliminary analysis and generation of possible different modular solutions description for civil and historical buildings

This deliverable will collect the analysis of a modular set of possible solutions adapted to different scenarios developed in a matrix. Such scenarios will combine different climates building load profiles, drillability/access conditions to the site, basic constrains based on the characteristics of the H&C distribution in the building (civil/historical) and, finally, the possible local availability of other types of RES. The most appropriate GSHP solutions (blocks) will be identified depending on site conditions, identification and qualitative assessment of H&C sources to integrate geothermal energy in different scenarios and creating a portfolio of easily quantifiable indicators for a first feasibility analysis of the identified solutions. From the analysis developed in the deliverable, a catalogue of most common blocks of solutions aimed at specific building renovation scenarios will be developed to serve as input for the further GEO4CIVHIC DSS tools development.

Modelling energy demand and plant typology study for different levels of renovation in different types of buildings, climates and grounds

The first goal of the deliverable is to choose a single-user residential and a multi-user residential and non-residential buildings as representative of the building stock. The same selection will be carried out for a multi-user historical building.
The energy demand profiles will be determined by modelling two different levels of insulation (medium, deep) in 3 climatic zones (North, Centre, South Europe). Different shallow geothermal plant typologies for heating and cooling will be simulated with 3 different underground characteristics (defined in Task 1.2) for each of the study cases where the energy demand profile has been modelled. A database of 170 building energy profiles will be developed and will integrate the existing Cheap-GSHPs database of energy demand with other 340 yearly energy profiles.
A comparison using conventional H&C plants versus geothermal plant typologies will provide data on the energy savings and the difference in primary energy use between the different plant typologies.

Report on different kind of barriers for shallow geothermal in deep renovation

This report will focus on the various barriers against installation of shallow geothermal systems in deep renovation. Such barriers include technical issues (constraints for drilling and installation, integration into given heating or HVAC systems), legal and administrative aspects, and economics. In cases of renovation and refurbishment, the technical barriers are usually much higher than for green-field developments, as constraints in site availability and the need to adapt to given building equipment call for bespoke solutions in each case. The report will evaluate these specific issues and classify the different constraints, to allow the development within the project being focussed on the most widespread problems and the most promising solutions.

Identification of historical buildings as real and virtual demonstration in UNESCO sites

The deliverable will report on the processes and actions undertaken to identify the historical buildings performing as demonstrators for GEO4CIVHIC solutions localised in UNESCO designated sites. The deliverable will also describe the main technical characteristics of the identified buildings and related rooms to be supplied by the innovative geothermal power facilities, both in terms of applied solutions (real cases) and assessment studies (virtual cases). The deliverable will also rely on the contribution of different project partners since it will collect in a standardised fashion, all historical buildings located in UNESCO designated sites and not only those referred to the tasks under the direct responsibility of UNESCO (Ferrara and Split).

Overview of vertical geothermal heat exchangers and corresponding drilling machine techniques

There are three basic patterns of vertical geothermal heat exchangers (Borehole Heat Exchangers, BHE) possible: the coaxial type (concentric, tube-in-tube), the U-tube type (made from single tubes, differing in the type of bends and the number of pipes in one borehole), and complex designs based on a concentric concept (helicoidal, multi-tube-concentric, etc.). The report D2.1 will investigate what types are used in the partner countries and for which applications, and will elaborate on the merits and drawbacks of the different approaches, both in energetic and economic terms. Conclusions will be drawn on what concept is deemed to be best suited for applications in deep renovation. The report will also cover the respective drilling and installation equipment, with a specific emphasis on use in already built areas or even indoor space, as might be required for deep renovation.
