Ground-source heat pumps, which tap into the stable temperatures found hundreds of feet beneath the Earth’s surface, are a super-efficient way to heat and cool homes. They’re also quite expensive to ...

Researchers in Sweden sought to raise the efficiency of ground source heat pumps by combining their operation with that of PVT systems and free cooling. Through a series of simulations, they found ...

If you're considering using a ground source heat pump to heat your home, you could be wondering what type of ground source heat pump problems you may encounter. Or, perhaps you have one and have a few ...

Scientists from China have developed a novel optimization method for medium-depth ground source heat pumps, using an improved chaos particle swarm optimization. They coupled it with either a heat ...

New England’s largest energy utility, Eversource, is on its way to becoming the first gas utility in the country to build and run a “networked geothermal system.” The pilot project, which broke ground ...

UND is in an ideal position to phase out its coal-fired steam plant and use ground heating instead, William D. Gosnold, a geophysics professor and an expert on such systems said today. He joined a ...

Thanks to incentives from Washington, D.C., two Massachusetts public schools are turning away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy for heating and cooling. It’s time for Hopkins Academy to ...
