The "shallow geothermal energy also called low enthalpy", uses the energy present in the subsoil up to about 100m deep from where it is possible to extract heat "constantly" (unlike all other sources) during the winter season and to give it up during the summer season.
This workshop deals with modern technologies that allow you to transform the thermal energy present in the ground into heat that can be used for other purposes (for example heating or cooling a house) resulting in absolute the "cleanest" form of alternative and renewable energy, available anywhere and installable in any type of land. The most recent innovative methodologies have been studied and developed in recent European Projects, in particular GEO4CIVHIC- http://www.geo4civhic.eu  and Cheap-GSHPs- http://cheap-gshp.eu/ whose results are the subject of the Workshop.
