Popis: Background: Borehole heat exchangers are a growing technology in the area of house/building air conditioning, most of all in northern Europe. Methods: In order to have a good project, we need to have a reliable value of ground thermal conductivity, which is normally obtained by interpreting the data retrieved by running a thermal response test. Different are the ways of interpreting the data provided by the test (e.g., infinite line source theory, finite line source theory, etc.), and in this paper. Results: We will first simulate a thermal response test using finite element subsurface flow system, a heat and flow dynamic simulator. Conclusions: Then, a sensitivity analysis of the effect of the different grout properties on the results of a thermal response test is shown.
