Economic analysis of vertical ground source heat pump systems in Melbourne
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed some economic indicators for residential vertical ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems in Melbourne, Australia, and found that for a design life of 20 years, an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) system is marginally more financially attractive than a GSHP system; however, for a designed life of 40 years, GSHPs provide considerably more savings than other alternatives including ASHP systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of surface air temperature fluctuations on long-term performance of vertical ground heat exchangers
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D detailed numerical model of ground source heat pump (GSHP) was developed to evaluate the thermal effects of surface air temperature changes on GHEs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy geostructures: A review of analysis approaches, in situ testing and model scale experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the most recent analysis approaches, in situ testing, full scale testing and model scale experiments with a focus on energy piles and other energy geostructures.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Experimental Facility to Validate Ground Source Heat Pump Optimisation Models for the Australian Climate
TL;DR: The ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are one of the most widespread forms of geothermal energy technology as discussed by the authors, and they utilise the near-constant temperature of the ground below the frost line to achieve energy-efficiencies two or three times that of conventional air-conditioners, consequently allowing a significant offset in electricity demand for space heating and cooling.

Maximising Sustainability Outcomes by Amalgamating Dimensions of Sustainability
TL;DR: This paper explored how one large, research-intensive university is working toward a more sustainable future through combining dimensions of sustainability, including teaching, campus operations and research in sustainability initiatives so that each dimension supports the other dimensions for mutual success.
