The methodology consists in an energy balance that takes into account
(beside geometric features and period of construction of the buildings) the
monthly values of: HDD, solar radiation on the building, internal gains based
on floor surface.
Thermal energy demand
Qh = QL - QG
QG = solar gains on vertical surface + internal gains
QL = internal-external transmission + ventilation

Building thermal energy demand
The solar radiation value on build-up vertical surfaces was calculated by using the GRASS
r.sun module.
The main input data are:
• elevation raster map;
• aspect raster map;
• fixed slope value of 90 degrees (to simulate the vertical surface output for each raster
cell/pixel);
• atmospheric turbidity raster map (achieved interpolating Linke atmospheric turbidity data from
The SoDa Service, http://www.soda-pro.com/);
• albedo raster data (achieved interpolating albedo data distributed by The SoDa Service);
• horizon raster maps (step 5 degrees).

Economic and financial feasibility
Using the power peak of the supply system and the BHE length
we can derive the two main costs:
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡𝐻𝑃 = 297.8 ⋅ 𝑃ℎ + 5313.4
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡𝐺𝑆𝐻𝐸 = 70 ⋅ 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ𝐵𝐻𝐸
There two costs together cover more than 70% of the total cost,
but since the other components of the system can change based
on how the plant is configured, we define a factor to assess the
total cost.
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝐵𝐻𝐸 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡𝐻𝑃 + 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡𝐺𝑆𝐻𝐸 ⋅ 𝑘 with k = 1.4

Economic and financial feasibility
Based on the Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF) the total energy that the HP
have to provide to the house, and the electricity costs, we can estimate the
operative costs of the plant.

We characterized the investment, operative and maintenance costs for other technologies like:

Introduction
Short project and context description

- short description of the activities done within WP5
Contents and objectives of the deliverable
- this deliverable aims to explain what we mean as “spatial explicit assessment” of the
economic and financial feasibility and describe the methodology that we followed. The
analysis can support the development of energy strategies and energy plans for a
region/municipality.
- short description of the software and tools developed within the project.
- link between WP5 and other WPs activities.
- describe which other information are available in other GRETA deliverable.

Deliverable 5.1
General description of the methodology
In the deliverable we describe how to perform a spatial explicit analysis of the economic and
financial figures of a certain area. We are not describing how to include this analysis in the energy
plans that requires to use all the other layers that are analysed in the previous WPs.
Link with other WPs.
To evaluate the economic and financial feasibility we need to:
Assess the NSGE potential:
geophysical features of the ground (WP4),
possible technical solutions (WP3),
existing regulation and legislative framework (WP2);
Assess the heating and cooling demand (WP5) or use energy consumption data if available;
Assess the size of the NSGE plant to supply the heat demand;
Assess the cost of the NSGE plants from WP3 data and, if available, from specific data from the
pilot area. Compute some KPI to evaluate the alternative technologies (NPV, IRR, etc).
