Geothermal Heat Pump Depth and Cost-Benefit Analysis

Overview

This project provides a calculator to determine the required depth for geothermal heat pumps based on various heat transfer properties. It also includes a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the economic feasibility of the system over time.

Project Structure

• main.py: The main script to run the depth calculation and cost-benefit analysis.
• heat_transfer.py: Handles thermal property calculations, including thermal conductivity and seasonal variations.
• cost_benefit.py: Performs the cost analysis and calculates the return on investment.

How to Use

1. Modify the input parameters in the main.py script, including thermal properties and cost-related values.
2. Run main.py to see the depth calculation and cost-benefit analysis results. (you could also inspect the jupyter notebook format for extra information on the underlying mathematical and thermal principles, and plug your numbers in there)

Example Usage

python main.py
