Building America Case Study: Simplified Air Distribution, Desuperheaters, and Sub-Slab Geothermal Heat Exchangers, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Stacey Rothgeb, N. Mittereder, A. Poershke

Research output: NRELFact Sheet

Abstract

This report presents a cold-climate project that examines an alternative approach to ground source heat pump (GSHP) ground loop design. The innovative ground loop design is an attempt to reduce the installed cost of the ground loop heat exchange portion of the system by containing the entire ground loop within the excavated location beneath the basement slab.
