3. Exploiting geothermal heat with a heat pump
3.1 Heat pump principle
Even at low ground temperatures, the heat pump can capture and transform this thermal energy, whether it comes from the ambient air, groundwater, river water or the ground, and use it to heat or cool homes, either by air or water (figure 5 ).
