8585 Ground Source Heat Pumps in the Historic Buildings and Landscapes Project

This project is to investigate the performance of a number of ground source heat pump schemes currently operating in historic buildings and landscapes of the UK. The project will evaluate the performance of existing open-loop and closed-loop ground source heat pump installations installed with boreholes or horizontal ground collectors in a mixture of domestic and non-domestic properties.

The project will identify examples of best practice and considerations that need to be made when designing ground source heat pumps schemes in the historic environment. Best practice approaches will be identified and summarised so that all stakeholders can understand the considerations associated with this technology. The evaluation of this application will extend to those installations where improvements can be made. Technical issues will be identified and shared with a non-accusatory approach so that lessons can be learned and to avoid these issues being repeated.
