Geothermal heat pumps to reduce diesel consumption in an off-grid subarctic community: Comparison of solar assisted systems with optional underground energy storage.
Overdependence on fossil fuels for heating and electricity poses significant challenges for remote communities in northern Quebec. This study evaluates the efficiency, heating costs and relevance of solar-assisted geothermal systems in a subarctic climate. Detailed subsurface data collected from Wha...
