Abstract
The heating and cooling needs of a building show usually a strong daily and seasonal variation. The shallow underground is a cost-efficient store for compensating the daily and seasonal delay between need and supply of heat and cold. Mostly borehole heat exchangers (BHE) are used to develop and operate the geothermal store. The leading parameters for the design of optimized installations are demonstrated by a project with complex energy demand.
