This project explored the application of ground coupled cooling in a novel environment. The authors have reviewed both the literature and the theoretical basis for ground coupled cooling. They have also reviewed the technology of existing systems, focusing on the design objectives, component and system performance, parameter measurement, control strategy and relative achievement of system aims.

The information provides a basis for the application of ground coupled cooling systems, including the extraction of cooling from the existing groundwater abstraction, where pumping is needed to reduce the groundwater level, eliminating the need for energy intensive cooling systems.
