Abstract

Among renewable energies, geothermal energy is gaining importance due to the different applications that are being accomplished within the residential sector. Forecasts suggest a “promising future” for this energy source. A study carried out by the Department of Energy at University of Oviedo, approached from technical, economic and environmental views related to this source gave as a result the geothermal installation designed for covering the demand of heating and hot water production (DHW) of a detached house located in Asturias described in this paper. Its aim it’s to make an optimal use of geothermal energy, combining a geothermal heat pump with a radiant floor heating system in order to keep the building in comfortable conditions and minimizing the effect of the outside temperature.
