Ground Source Energy

The rising costs of non-renewable energy and the need to differentiate our energy sources are driving many of the zero carbon guidelines and grant schemes in the UK and abroad. However, a poor understanding of the science and the technical aspects that are associated with ground source heat solutions may lead to an inappropriate adoption of this technology. The financial benefits associated with ground source heat pumps may be jeopardised by poor operation during the lifecycle of the scheme.

So how can ESI help you to benefit from ground source energy?

ESI employs a team of highly specialised hydrogeologists and modellers that have worked for key UK and Italian ground source heat projects including Transport of London Cooling the Tube Programme and IKEA stores in Milan. This team can deliver solutions that are guaranteed to perform according to specifications over the entire lifecycle of the system.

The implementation of big, complex ground source energy schemes is generally undertaken with a stepped or tiered approach. This approach guarantees that the capital investment required for the design of such a scheme is gradually increased when more data is available and the problems are better understood.

 

ESI has a four tier approach to the design and implementation of ground source energy schemes:

Tiers: - Ground Source Energy


 Tier 1 – Free site check

 Tier 2 – Feasibility studies for Ground Source Energy

 Tier 3 - Outline Ground Source Energy scheme design specification

 Tier 4 – Detailed Ground Source Energy scheme design specification and environmental impact assessment

ESI acknowledges that the market needs tailored services that are targeted to specific client needs. We have tailored a set of packages that are specifically designed for certain categories of clients (installers, architects, M&E engineers, regulators, etc):


Thermal Response Testing
