Seminar 33 -- Ground Source Heat Pump Systems: GeoMicroDistricts to the Thermal Highway and Beyond (LIVE) PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

This track explores possibilities for wasted energy recovery and increasing multi-building system efficiency using one-pipe convective loops. We demonstrate several ways System Coefficient of Performance can be increased using ground source and GeoMicroDisticts. There will be several sessions that will go over the energy engineering aspects of optimizing GSHP systems using diversity, part load analysis, system COP and system iCOPkW, the affinity laws for pumps and fans, and earth thermal properties for heat storage. Specific examples of installed GeoMicroDistricts will be used to demonstrate the technology.
