A New Tool to Evaluate Impacts of Combining Building Envelope Improvements with Ground Source Heat Pump for Deep Building Retrofits

This study evaluates how improving building envelopes can reduce thermal loads and, subsequently, the size and cost of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. The building envelope enhancements analyzed include adding insulation to walls and/or roofs, minimizing uncontrolled outdoor air infiltration, and installing high-performance windows. The investigation utilizes GeoWI…

An Online Tool for Preliminary Design and Techno-Economic Analysis of District Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems

District geothermal heating and cooling systems (DGHCS) have significant benefits for reducing energy consumption as well as building- and grid-level peak electric demand. Currently, no publicly available tools are available to effectively design and conduct techno-economic analysis of DGHCS. GeoWISE was originally developed for preliminary design and techno-economic analy…

Development of a web-based screening tool for ground source heat pump applications

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) technology has great potential to help the nation meet its energy and decarbonization goals, but several barriers hinder the wide application of GSHP. Important barriers include the lack of a coherent toolset for analyzing the technical feasibility and economic viability of the GSHP application. The current design and analysis methods are ine…
