The QEWSplus partners met for the 7th project meeting in July, which heralded the final work phase until the end of the project on 31 December
2024. Project partner Solites hosted the meeting at the Steinbeis House for Management and Technology in Stuttgart. In addition to the status
achieved and the completion of the work in the four sub-projects, the focus was on the future dissemination and use of the project results as a
transfer task. For example, the results of thermal response tests, the backfilling quality of geothermal probes and the dimensioning of geothermal
probes and collectors are to be incorporated into the corresponding sheets of VDI Guideline 4640. There will also be a comprehensive presentation
of the results at GeoTHERM in Offenburg in February 2025 (
www.geotherm-offenburg.de),
where the project consortium will be represented again with its own stand.
The participants at the QEWSplus final meeting look back on many years of good and successful cooperation
