Cheap-GSHPs Project presented on  UNESCO biyearly newsletter "Bridges" #2/2017 In its second issue on 2017, UNESCO’s Newsletter BRIDGE published the article “Ground Source Heat Exchangers innovative solutions for sustainable energy soon to be applied at Nikola Tesla Technical Museum in Zagreb”. The article presents information about this real demo site developed by the Cheap-GSHP Project, which is [...]

Geothermal heat is a promising source to enrich and significantly contribute to the renewable energy mix in a long-term perspective. To foster the use of geothermal energy in a secure, clean and efficient way, the European Commission (EC) supports twelve projects within the Horizon 2020 Programme (H2020) and pursues one project of the former 7th Framework Programme (FP7).

Cheap-GSHPs Project presented on UNESCO biyearly newsletter "Bridges" The UNESCO biyearly newsletter "Bridges" publishes at page 11 in its second issue for 2016 an information about the real demo site from the Technical Museum in Zagreb (Croatia), which will be accomplished in the frame of the Cheap-GSHP Project.

“GeoSniff” - New measurement tool for the evaluation of the underground temperatures Dr David Bertermann and Johannes Müller had the opportunity to join a training event of enoware GmbH which were introducing their new measuring device called “GeoSniff”. This new application is able to do depth and temperature measurements in single-U and double-U pipes of different diameter. FAU [...]

Scientific paper – presented at the session SS 41 “Weather & Microclimate” during the CLIMA 2016 Congress in Aalborg (Denmark) – summarizes the results of one the Cheap-GSHPs project tasks.

This scientific paper – presented at the session SS 37 “Building Performance” during the CLIMA 2016 Congress in Aalborg (Denmark) – synthesises the results of one the Cheap-GSHPs project tasks.

Geological data reinterpretation During the European Geosciences Union General Assembly held in April 2016 in Vienna (Austria), the results of one the Cheap-GSHPs project tasks was presented together with one of the tasks outcomes in the poster session “Development of strategies towards a sustainable intensive thermal use of the shallow subsurface”. This poster – “Cheap-GSHPs, [...]

New drilling machine components were developed and tested in the field. The first results are very encouraging. Tubes with larger diameters than the ones actually used were installed in record time.

Research and Innovation is often related to the diffusion of new technologies. Nowadays the energy price fluctuations and the economic crisis are jeopardizing the development and diffusion of renewable energy technologies and sources. The improvement of the knowledge on thermal properties of the underground materials will help this project to achieve its challenging goals.

Underground property definitions represent one of the most relevant keys for the success of every civil engineering project, like shallow geothermal applications.
