Due to the wide range of applications, shallow geothermal energy with borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) and related systems can make an
important contribution to the energy transition. Due to the intrusion into the subsurface and the possible consequences for groundwater
and soil, special care must be taken during planning, construction and operation to ensure a long-term efficient operation of the systems
and to reliably prevent potential damage. Quality assurance is therefore of particular importance in all phases of the plant's life, from
planning to commissioning, during operation and after decommissioning. For this reason, various aspects of quality assurance for BHEs were
investigated as part of this joint project. In order to improve the quality of the in-situ determination of key input parameters for the
design and dimensioning of BHEs, a procedure for checking measuring equipment for thermal response tests was developed. Consistent design
models for various shallow geothermal systems were also developed and implemented. Furthermore, methods for improving the backfilling of
boreholes and its sealing function for BHEs were investigated. In-situ measurement methods for quality monitoring and surveillance of BHEs
were also developed. The results and the expertise of the project participants were incorporated into the international IEA ECES Annex 27.
This describes recommendations and procedures for quality assurance during the design, construction and operation of borehole heat exchanger
systems. In addition, key project results have been and will be incorporated into (future) parts of the VDI 4640 guideline and the European
standard EN 17522, which is currently being developed. This is made possible by the close co-operation between the CEN TC 451 WG2 working
group and the IEA ECES Annex 27 working group.
