… ground source heat pumps (GSHP) commonly use boreholes (up to several hundred metres deep) to abstract ground water from an aquifer. This water will be significantly warmer than ambient surface temperatures, increasing with depth, and will not fluctuate with air temperature. High source temperatures require less input energy to reach output temperatures and result in a greater CoP. Abstraction…
… decarbonises and less CO₂e is emitted per kWh of electricity consumed. Figure 14 shows the first year CO₂e savings achievable through implementing the carbon reduction measures identified for Cumbria House. The largest savings are achieved through the installation of a ground source heat pump system at the site. No savings are identified from lighting improvements as the building has LED lights installed…
