ENERGY FOUNDATIONS AND OTHER THERMOSET UNDERGROUND CONCRETE STRUCTURES
Energy foundations and other thermoset underground concrete structures represent a promising technology that contributes to environmental protection and provides long-term savings as well as resource conservation. The article deals with concrete elements that are in contact with the ground and work as heat exchangers due to the systems of pipelines with a heat carrier located in them. The natural temperature of the earth is used as a heat source in winter and a cooling source in summer. At the same time, such structures do not have a great influence on the bearing capacity of the elements. The natural temperature of the earth is used as a source of heat in winter and a source of cooling in summer. The energy potential of underground energy structures increases with depth, so deeper energy systems are more efficient. This technology requires fine-tuning and additional calculations.
