GROUND-MED: Demo Project Benedikt (Present Status)

Abstract

Ground-Med Project Will Demonstrate Geothermal Heat Pump (GSHP) Systems for Heating and Cooling of Measured Spf greater than 5,0 in 8 Demonstration Sites in South Europe. the Spf is Determined by the Heat Pump Unit and by Its Operating Conditions Imposed to the Heat Pump by the Ground Heat Exchanger and the Heating/cooling System of the Building as Well. Ground-Med Has the Duration of 5 Years. the Consortium Comprises 24 Organizations, Mainly from South Europe. Demo Project Benedikt is Oriented to Remodelling and Restoration of a Public Building of the Municipal Hall for an Application of Techniques and More Innovative Technologies That Reduce the Energy Demand, and Employ Renewable Energies. the Main Objective of the Project is to Achieve the Generation of Energy of High Quality by Geothermal Energy Source for Heating and Passive Cooling by a Large Scale Heat Pump with Vertical Heat Exchangers. Planned Demonstration Project of Heat Pump with Vertical Heat Exchangers Will Be Constructed in the Municipality Hall, a Public Building Encompassing 322 M2 of Heating Area and Having the Heating Power of About 30 Kw and Passive Cooling of 25 Kw.
