Abstract

Energy geostructures are a special type of closed Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system in which heat exchange pipes are installed in the foundation elements (e.g., piles, walls) to extract or inject thermal energy from/to the ground. Due to its dual function and high-energy efficiency, this technology is an alternative to reduce the environmental impact of the growing energy demand for space conditioning while avoiding the high initial cost of traditional GSHP systems. This chapter summarizes the basic concepts of energy geostructures, with emphasis on energy piles, including heat transfer mechanism, site investigations procedures, thermal and mechanical analysis approaches. Additionally, the chapter discusses the most recent design considerations and some construction recommendations.
