This course focuses on energy geostructures and geosystems: novel multifunctional earth-contact technologies that can provide renewable energy supply and structural support to any built environment.

Transforming all structures in contact with the ground to provide combined structural support and renewable energy supply to built environments is the cutting-edge role of energy geostructures.

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems harness the relatively constant temperature of the subsurface to provide efficient heating and cooling for buildings and infrastructure. By circulating a fluid ...
