Abstract:
Highlights•Exergy and energy analysis of a vertical-bore ground source heat pump over a 12-month period is presented.•The ground provided more than 75% of the heating energy.•Performance metrics are presented.•Sources of systemic inefficiency are identified and prioritized using Exergy analysis.•Understanding performance metrics is vital for judicial use of renewable energy.
