New Book Spotlights Resource-saving Potential of Energy Geostructures
As demand grows for new built environments in cities, scientists are looking to the very ground where these structures sit to provide renewable energy to power them. Called energy geostructures, these multifunctional technologies integrate geothermal energy carriers within building foundations and other earth-contact structures, providing an environmentally friendly way to heat and cool indoor spaces and sustain hot water production.
Analysis and Design of Energy Geostructures
Energy geostructures provide a constant source of renewable heating and cooling in buildings and infrastructures and perform very well. Professor Lyesse Laloui, the director of EPFL’s Laboratory of Soil Mechanics (LMS), has co-authored a new book that takes stock of the latest developments in a field where Lausanne leads the way globally.
Creating Structures That Supply Thermal Energy: A New Book for Transforming Built Environments
Transforming all structures in contact with the ground to provide combined structural support and renewable energy supply to built environments is the cutting-edge role of energy geostructures. Professor Alessandro Rotta Loria is the co-author of a new book, first of its kind, about the science and engineering of energy geostructures.
