The Good News -

Genius Energy Lab produces an industry-first on-site guide to Commercial Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), proving the momentum in the energy transition is growing as more consultants, contractors, and architects look to adopt GSHP tech.

When deployed at scale or integrated into district heat networks, GSHP systems lay the groundwork for a sustainable energy future, being one of the most cost effective and environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems available today.

Battling the Misconceptions

According to GEL, 80% of projects never progress with GSHPs because of outdated guidelines and common misconceptions. GEL focuses on educating people about the transformative potential of geothermal energy and GSHPs for the UK's energy landscape, so a first-of-its-kind on-site guide was needed.

Project Background Facts - 

Created in 2023 and available for download here, GEL's new On-Site Guide gives contractors and consultants actionable advice to bring this renewable energy tech into their next project. It walks users through how to assess the feasibility of GSHP and offers practical planning tools to simplify the process.

What you get in the guide:

  • Latest stats and trends on GSHP adoption and usage 
  • FAQs and myth-busting facts 
  • Easy-to-use tools to get started with GSHP in your project
  • Use cases and case studies of commercial ground source heat pumps
