Energy from underground tunnels: a vision for present and future cities

The GEOEG team, in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and BG Engineers, has developed a study providing an assessment of the potential of underground tunnels to serve as heat exchangers through the harvesting of the airflow present in such environments. The results of this study have been summarized in a research paper in the international scientific journal Applied Thermal Engineering. More information can be found on a dedicated webpage of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, today ahead of print.

GEOEG is committed to provide advanced and long-lasting competence for the development of present and future cities whose energy needs are met with a limited impact on the environment.
