This forth issue of the newsletter reflects the progress achieved by the project between April 1st, 2020 until September 30th, 2020.
|
|
|
GEO4CIVHIC Project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 792355.
The project will run for 48 months, from April, 1st, 2018, until March 31st, 2022.

Report on data collection, preliminary design of the building and/or the HVAC system with related costs of the virtual cases
|
|
|
The report aims to (1) collect all the relevant data of the virtual demo cases, using the same methodology previously applied and (2) to present the preliminary design of the GSHP system, applied in the real demo sites buildings. All the collected data will be used as inputs to the DSS, for the final evaluation of the performance in the real and virtual demonstration facilities, for environmental analyses, for business models, cost-benefit analysis and exploitation of the market and for dissemination.

Second generation Heat Pump technologies based on solutions proposed in GEOTeCH and Cheap-GSHPs H2020 projects
|
|
|
The report presents the results of the work performed by UNIPD-DII and CNR-ITC aiming to build the theoretical models of the heat pumps, starting from the heat pumps developed in the two previous projects. According to this objective, two novel heat pumps which have been already introduced in both GEOTeCH and Cheap-GSHPs H2020 projects have been further developed and second generation machines have been analysed and developed.

Innovative hybrid high temperature Heat Pumps for renovated Civil and Historical Buildings for high and medium temperature terminals
|
|
|
The document describes the study and the optimization of a new heat pump prototype, that is a double source machine using CO2 as the refrigerant. The use of the two heat sources, the air and the ground, allows to reduce the size of the geothermal field while assuring good efficiencies, even when producing high-temperature heat. The use of CO2, moreover, is more environmentally sustainable, in comparison to the traditional synthetic fluids.

Common MCDA Methodology & Risk Assessment of individual case study sites
|
|
|
The document comprises a number of parts that include a Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) tool and a risk assessment matrix. The report provides an overview of the work carried out for the development of the MCDA tool aimed at non-technical stakeholders and the development of the risk assessment matrix. The tool provides an initial screening methodology to define the applicability of the project technologies to certain retrofit scenarios and relates these to the risk assessment carried out in the second part of the task.

Market and Business innovation 1st version
|
|
|
The document is aiming to carry out a general assessment of the European market and the preliminary business models for the identified GEO4CIVHIC solutions. A complete analysis has been performed investigating first the most used conventional solutions for heating and cooling of buildings in Europe. It has been found out that the conventional heating and cooling market is very heterogeneous, composed by many different technologies, and characterized by a low level of efficiency for the installed stock: hence there is a relevant need for modernization of existing conventional heating and cooling systems.

Overview of the existing very shallow and horizontal solutions
|
|
|
Shallow geothermal energy can be defined as the heat output which is provided by a subsurface source like geothermal boreholes. However, this classification is not complete. Heat output as the extraction output (heating) is one aspect of shallow geothermal energy, another and lesser noticed one us the feed-in output (cooling), in which heat energy is dissipated into the ground (e.g. air conditioning of rooms in summer). Depending on the location, the soil can have very different characteristics which derives of its geological origins and pedological history.

First report on the results of pilot facilities demonstration n.1 in Padua: performance of the plug & play solutions and of the adaptation of well point technique
|
|
|
The report includes the description of the activities concerning the planning, the design and the installation of the heat exchangers as well as the installation of the heat pumps and the connection between BHEs and heat pump. The implementation phase at Pilot site was delayed due to Covid-19 pandemic. The results of the monitoring phase will be included within the report in a following phase.
