Nationwide Determination of Required Total Lengths of Multiple Borehole Heat Exchangers under Variable Climate and Geology in Japan

This study determined the required lengths of borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) in ground-source heat pump systems for heating/cooling a building (with 300 m<sup>2</sup> of floor area) across Japan’s four main islands through a simulation approach. Hourly thermal loads were estimated in 10...
