With the use and effectiveness of conventional heat pumps decreasing drastically in colder climate regions, geo-exchange systems have become the solution to allow heat pumps to still be operable in these colder regions. However, with the high costs of installation required for deep-well heat exchangers and horizontal-trench heat exchangers, and the high cost of land in high-density urban/suburban areas, their adoption is still small. For this reason, this project aims to increase the energy density of geo-exchange systems so that high installation costs are not required, and large land requirements become non-existent.
