| Abstract |
Nowadays, Due to the recent instability in global oil prices, the convention of climate change, and greenhouse gas emissions, the international regulations on the use of energy, have been strengthened. At this time, energy-saving plan cannot solve the fundamental energy problem. Therefore, it is necessary to diversify the energy supply source by shifting the energy source from fossil energy to renewable energy, as well as practicing energy saving. The purpose of this study the limitations of the geothermal cooling & heating system which is the most close to the practical use in the perspective of initial investment costs and energy efficiency, among renewable energies, were perceived; and to solve this problem, the characteristic of energy consumption of the case in which the geothermal hybrid system, recently being introduced, has been applied, has been carried out. |
