Abstract: Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are considered to provide very efficient air conditioning systems, and this assists in achieving sustainability goals as well as reducing electricity consumption and carbon emissions. The design of such systems, however, depends on the climatic conditions and the geological characteristics of the site; in practice, the optimum design of the system also depends on the characteristics of the surrounding soil. The majority of the research into GSHPs has been focused on cold regions, thus this work is a very useful reference and important in GSHPs’ design in Saudi Arabia and therefore in other hot and arid regions.
