The 4th workshop of GOES project was held from Sep. 25 to Sep. 27, 2024, in Vienna. Soga Research Group remotely present their contribution of integrating the shallow geothermal into the building energy simulation and optimization. Primary works include introducing g-function into mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model and coupling the Modelica building library with Dealii finite element tool. The new centralized energy plant system… Read More »Vienna Workshop of Geothermal-based Optimization Energy System (GOES) Project

UC Berkely is planning a new clean electrified heating and cooling plant utilizing shallow geothermal to cut down greenhouse gas emissions. As part of this initiative, a new borehole with the depth of 400 ft was drilled and installed during the week of May 20, 2024, at the Hearst North Field on Berkeley campus, which will host the new plant. From Aug. 16 to Aug.… Read More »Distributed Thermal Response Test (DTRT) in the New Campus Borehole
