System approach to evaluation of the building heating efficiency using geothermal heat pump in the climatic conditions of Western Ural

The current paper is devoted to the estimation the effectiveness of the application of the geothermal heat pump application in the climatic conditions of Western Ural. The system approach for assessing the efficiency of the heating system of the research unit (model of a residential house) on the basis of the heat pump is proposed. This approach involves multi-criteria analysis of the facility operation based on the data of field experiments and simulation results, as well as evaluating the economic efficiency of the heat pump as compared with traditional heat sources.
