Incorporation of heat exchangers into ground embedded structures (Geostructures) such as shallow founda¬tions, pile foundations, diaphragm walls, tunnel cut-and-cover walls, tunnel linings and anchors, is a relatively novel sustainable technology for the intermittent storage of energy in the ground with a view of utilizing it for heating and cooling by means of suitable systems integrated into the geostructures. This innovative technology can provide not only substantial long-term cost savings in relation to conventional energy systems but also can make an important contribution to environmental protection by reducing fossil energy use and minimizing the carbon footprint of built structures.
