Geothermal Heat PumpsA Proven Renewable Energy Technology by
Greg Tinkler, CGD
While Earth travels through Space…
…it Absorbs Energy from the Sun
This natural Energy Collection and Storage System captures nearly 50% of the Solar
Energy falling on Earth…
…thus maintaining a nearly Constant Temperature throughout the year just below the surface
Water is an incredibly efficient medium for transporting Thermal Energy
1 Btu will raise 1 lb (approx. 1 pint) of water up 1 degree Fahrenheit
2,000 lbs of ICE- How many Tons does it take to melt?
6
Geothermal Heat Pump Systems combine Sun, Earth, and Water
using proven technology…
… to create “the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective
space-conditioning system”(according to U.S. EPA 1993)
Geothermal Heat PumpBasic Principles
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Heat pumps remove or add heat to a building.
The heat removed or added must be rejected to something: Directly to outside air (like your house system) To water, which in turn rejects heat to the
atmosphere via a cooling tower. To water, then to the earth (Geothermal Heat
Pumps) Closed Loop System – not taking water from
the ground9

WHICH IS EASIER TO REJECT HEAT TO ?
99 DEGREE AIR OR 72 DEGREE DIRT
The Earth is an Efficient Place to Reject Heat in Summer…
Outdoor air design temperature:98°F in summer
74°F
72°F
Insulating layer of earth
A geothermal heat pump cools the building in summer by rejecting heat into the earth
Delta T = $ to operate!!!
…and is the Source of Stored Heat in Winter…
Outdoor air design temperature:31.5°F in winter
72°F
80°F
Insulating layer of earth
A geothermal heat pump takes heat from the earth during winter and transfers it into the building
Delta T = $ to operate!!!
A geothermal heat pump is connected to a sealed water piping loop buried in the earth near the building
When water exiting the heat pump is pumped through the ground loop, it is naturally warmed (or cooled) by the earth surrounding it

Geothermal Heat Pump Efficiency
One unit of energy from the grid
Plus:4 units of energy
from the earth
Yields:5 units of energy for the building

Heat Pumps Are All Around Us…
Air conditioners and air-source heat pumps transfer heat from inside houses to the air outside
Refrigerators transfer heat from food into the kitchen

Geothermal Heat ExchangerInstallation Methods
Vertical Closed-LoopA pair of pipes with a special U-bend assembly at the bottom is placed into bore holes from 100 to 400 feet deep
Horizontal Closed-Loop A piping array is installed in trenches cut 3 to 5 feet deep and hundreds of feet in length
Surface Water Closed-LoopA piping array is submerged in a pond or lake at least 12 feet deep
Ground WaterOpen-LoopWell water from an underground aquifer is pumped through the geothermal heat pump and then returned to the aquifer or discharged to the surface

Residential Tax Incentives• Code Sec. 25D. Residential energy efficient property.• (a) Allowance of credit.
In the case of an individual, there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year an amount equal to the sum of—
• 6(5) 30 percent of the qualified geothermal heat pump property expenditures made by the tax payer during such year.• (b) Limitations. • (1) Maximum credit.
The credit allowed under subsection (a) (determined without regard to subsection (c) ) for any taxable year shall not exceed—
7 , • (D) $2,000 with respect to any qualified geothermal heat pump property expenditures.• (c) Limitation based on amount of tax; carry forward of unused credit • (1) Limitation based on amount of tax.
In the case of a taxable year to which section 26(a)(2) does not apply, the credit allowed under subsection (a) for the taxable year shall not exceed the excess of—
• (A) the sum of the regular tax liability (as defined in section 26(b)) plus the tax imposed by section 55, over• (B) the sum of the credits allowable under this subpart (other than this section) and section 27 for the taxable year.• (2) Carry forward of unused credit. • (A) Rule for years in which all personal credits allowed against regular and alternative minimum tax. In the case of a taxable
year to which section 26(a)(2) applies, if the credit allowable under subsection (a) exceeds the limitation imposed by section 26(a)(2) for such taxable year reduced by the sum of the credits allowable under this subpart (other than this section), such excess shall be carried to the succeeding taxable year and added to the credit allowable under subsection (a) for such succeeding taxable year.
• (B) Rule for other years. In the case of a taxable year to which section 26(a)(2) does not apply, if the credit allowable under subsection (a) exceeds the limitation imposed by paragraph (1) for such taxable year, such excess shall be carried to the succeeding taxable year and added to the credit allowable under subsection (a) for such succeeding taxable year.

military Schools Healthcare Hospitality Corporate office LEED/Green Building Owners who prefer simpler
systems

LESS LIKELYDeveloper buildingsPrivate multi-familyProjects where First Cost is more important than Life Cycle CostsCampuses with a Chilled Water Infrastructure
HOW DOES IT AFFECT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN?
INSIDE THE BUILDING Plenum space: little or no difference compared to Tower Loop Heat
Pumps, Chilled Water Fan Coils or VAV Box Type Systems Mechanical rooms and shafts: less space than Central Air Handlers
OUTSIDE THE BUILDING Roof: no units on the roof (but can be) No condensing units on the ground No visible loop piping Little affect on finished landscaping , grading & paving
