Analogous to the use of solar energy for heating and cooling, geothermal technologies provide the same opportunities for using renewable sources in buildings. This chapter examines how the energy input side of these technologies differs from solar applications. A detailed examination of efficiency and economic effects informs the decisions required for planning with these technologies.
