1 Introduction The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Geothermal Technologies Program has commissioned this study of ground‐source heat pumps (GSHPs), also known as geothermal heat pumps, to help assess whether new initiatives are appropriate to further the development and market adoption of this advanced, energy‐efficient technology. The report that follows provides an overview of the technology, describes that status of the international GSHP market, assesses the energy savings potential of GSHPs in the U.S., explains key barriers to widespread adoption of the technology, and suggests some initiatives that might help accelerate market adoption. 1.1 Background The Geothermal Technologies Program has in the past addressed GSHPs, but in recent years has focused primarily on conversion of high‐temperature supplies of geothermal energy into electricity. However, the increasing importance of building energy efficiency generally, as well as EERE’s programmatic focus on net‐zero energy homes (NZEH) and net‐zero energy commercial buildings (NZEBs), suggest that the topic of GSHPs should be reassessed to determine whether any new DOE initiatives are warranted to increase the relatively small market penetration of GSHPs. Residential, commercial, and institutional buildings account for about 40% of US primary energy consumption and carbon emissions, 72 percent of electricity consumption, 55 percent of natural gas consumption, and significant oil consumption in the Northeastern U.S. (DOE 2008). Over the long term, buildings are expected to continue to be a significant component of increasing energy demand and a major source of carbon emissions, driven in large part by the continuing trends of urbanization, population and GDP growth, as well as the longevity of building stocks. However, because building equipment and many structural features are frequently upgraded, the short term potential for improving the energy integrity of the existing building stock is substantial. Over the past several decades GSHP systems have gradually improved and have achieved a small but growing share in heating, cooling and (in some cases) water heating equipment markets, with modest policy emphasis and research to accelerate technology improvement or enhance affordability. Yet large energy savings have been demonstrated at the individual project level, suggesting that even today’s proven GSHP technology may be underutilized.
