Life-Cycle Assessment of an Innovative Ground-Source Heat Pump System with Upstream Thermal Storage

An innovative space-conditioning system is proposed and a life-cycle assessment (LCA) is presented. The layout is obtained starting from a ground-source heat pump system (GSHP) and includes upstream thermal storage (TS). A prototype of the system, implemented following this new approach, is currentl...
