Abstract

Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) are emerging as a pivotal technology in the quest for sustainable living, offering a promising solution to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change. By leveraging the Earth's stable underground temperatures, GHPs provide efficient heating and cooling with minimal environmental impact. This abstract explores the transformative role of GHPs in shaping future sustainable practices. It highlights their operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits, including substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional HVAC systems. The discussion also covers the technological advancements enhancing GHP performance and the growing adoption trends worldwide. As urbanization and climate concerns escalate, GHPs represent a critical component of a sustainable energy future, driving innovations in eco-friendly building technologies and contributing to global efforts towards energy conservation and environmental stewardship.
