| Abstract | Global geothermal heat pump (GHP) system growth is exponential, with 20 % annually. Promoting factors are identified and discussed. GHP technology is still developing, now increasingly supplying large building complexes with heating, cooling and domestic hot water. A combination of supporting conditions brought Switzerland to a top international rank in GHP applications. |
