Analysis of Geothermal Heating System for Buildings

One-third of the world energy utilization is for space heating and cooling. Steady increase in the prices of sources of energy and electricity has resulted in more and more use of alternate sources of energy such as geothermal energy for heating and cooling. Maximum heat loss from the building and water flow rate are for the month of January. The value of maximum heat loss is 3.41 kW and that for water flow rate is 0.84 m3/h respectively. The maximum savings in terms of value and energy by using the geothermal heating system are again for the month of January in terms of energy 1038 units of electricity and in terms of value Rs. 5191 respectively. Total savings for the winter season in terms of energy are 2983 units of electricity and in terms of value are Rs. 14915.
