This library contains g-functions (thermal response functions) for standard, regularly spaced vertical borehole ground heat exchangers. In total, it contains 34, 321 configurations. To permit interpolation, each configuration has g-functions for heights of 24, 48, 96, 192, and 384 m. All the g-functions were calculated with burial depths of 2m, and borehole diameters of 15 to 17.5 cm, depending on height. In configurations with uniform spacing, the spacing between the boreholes is set to 5m, though it can be scaled to other horizontal spacings.
The GHPsRUS Project's full name is "Measuring the Costs and Benefits of Nationwide Geothermal Heat Pump Deployment." The dataset contains employment and installation price data collected by four economic surveys: (1)GHPsRUS Project Manufacturer & OEM Survey, (2) GHPsRUS Project Geothermal Loop Survey, (3) GHPsRUS Project Mechanical Equipment Installation Survey, and (4) GHPsRUS Geothermal Heat Pump Industry Survey
