The groundwater source heat pump (GWHP) system utilizes groundwater as alternative renewable and clean energy source for space heating and cooling, withdraws water from a production well, passes it through a heat exchanger and discharges the water into an injection well. Hebei Province of China is rich of geothermal resources; there are suitable hydrogeological conditions in most areas. Take an office building in Hebei Province for example; a detail loads analysis of the groundwater source heat pump system was conducted. At the same time, an analysis of environmental energy benefits was also conducted. Comparing with the traditional systems for heating and cooling, groundwater source heat pump heating and cooling works well, with significant energy and environmental benefits, should be widely used.
