Abstract
Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems are one of the most widespread “green” technologies for heating and cooling of buildings. According to Lund and Boyd (2016) the installed heating capacity of GSHP systems is over 50 GW and the annual heating production is over 90 TWh/year. Over the 5-year period, 2010-2015, the growth rate measured in terms of capacity was 52% and in terms of heating provided, it was 63%. This paper and the accompanying presentation attempt to give an overview of the current state-of-theart, latest developments and trends in GSHP system technology.
