A '''ground source heat pump''' (GSHP) is a [[geothermal]] option for [[heating]] and [[cooling]].

'''Basic principle:''' Use the temperature of the ground a few hundred meters deep. This is a very stable 16'C{{x|on average. The exact temperature can range from 7'C to 21'C depending on latitude<ref>[https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/geothermal-heat-pumps Geothermal Heat Pumps - Department of Energy]</ref> - but it does not change much with the seasons.}}. The GSHP keeps the building cool during the summer, and keeps it warm during the winter.

{{considerations}} __NOTOC__

==Environmental & labor footprint of construction==
{{sum|Unknown {{rn}} }}
''This section needs research:''
* How easy is it to retrofit existing buildings?
** Single-detatched homes
** Townhouses, mid-rise and high-rise buildings
** Warehouses and other
* How does this viability compare with new construction?
* Life cycle analysis: How long does the thing last?

==Energy usage==
{{sum|Low|good}}
'''It still takes some''' electricity to run a GSHP. Also, in the winter, you'll still need some additional [[heating]]{{x|Option: Maybe a ''non-geothermal'' [[heat pump]] could do the last bit of heating, installed in a way that the deep ground temperature serves as the "background" temperature? {{rn}} }} if you want {{alt|your home|the building}} to be warmer than the deep ground temperature{{x|very likely in cold climates like Canada, since the deep ground temperature is lower too}}. However, this is '''less [[energy]]''' than other heating/cooling options.

==Geography==
{{sum|No problem / universal|good}}

Unlike other [[geothermal]] energy (which is only viable in a few parts of the world), ground source heat pumps work in almost any part of the world.
