The use of AQUAFLOW as a source for ground heat for domestic and commercial buildings has shown the potential for Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) fed by paving water to replace fossil fuels.
The Hanson EcoHouse, BRE Watford The Hanson Ecohouse at BRE Watford used the AQUAFLOW THERMAPAVE geothermal system. Research was conducted on the performance of THERMAPAVE in providing a comfortable indoor temperature. The results from 2008 based on only 50m2 of paving are shown below.
The internal wall in the house is subject to indoor temperatures and the GSHP and the external wall is affected by sunlight and the outdoor temperature.Ecohouse North wall in/outside
