| Abstract | The complex named “Palazzo Lombardia” in Milan is the new headquarters of Region Lombardia. This is the largest building in the world fully heated by means only of geothermal sources, represented by ground water with the utilization of heat pumps. The overall thermal power of the heat pumps is 6,3 MW. The heat pumps are reversible and in summer contribute to the production of chilled water for the cooling of the complex. The paper describes the main features of the installation and its technical characteristics. |
