| Abstract | In ground source (geothermal) heat pump systems, when the thermal loads of the buildings become high, complexity increases not in a linear mode and it can be divided into two types: technical and managerial complexity. This paper presents two 150 and 40 kW multifamily projects in Italy. Here we analyze the technical bottlenecks we encountered and the management problems we had to solve. |
