This book is the outcome of more than a decade of research and
technical development activities at Spain's Geological Survey
(IGME) concerning shallow geothermal energy, which were pursued in
collaboration with other public bodies and European entities. It
presents a compilation of papers on the theoretical foundations of,
and practical aspects needed to understand the thermal regime of
the topmost subsoil, up to 400 m deep, and the exceptional
properties that this underground environment offers, which make it
the ideal thermal reservoir for heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC). In the book's first section, the basic theory
of thermodynamics as applied to shallow geothermal energy, heat
transfer and fluid mechanics in the geological porous medium is
developed. The nature of the subsoil's thermal regime in general
and in the urban environment in particular is described. The second
section introduces readers to the fundamental aspects of thermal
installations equipped with geothermal heat pumps, describes the
types of geothermal exchangers most commonly used, and reviews the
techniques used to obtain the thermal parameters of the terrain. It
also discusses the potential environmental impacts of shallow
geothermal activity and corresponding management strategies, as
well as the legal aspects of its regulation for the governance of
shallow geothermal resources in the EU in general and Spain in
particular. In closing, the book highlights examples of the
methodologies' applications, developed by IGME in the city of
Zaragoza and the Canary Islands. The theoretical foundations,
systematics and concrete applications make the book a valuable
reference source for hydrogeologists, engineers and specialized
technicians alike.
