July 2011: The Environment Agency have produced a  good practice guide and position statement for ground source heating and cooling schemes. Environment Agency research indicates that there are around 12,000 ground source heat and cooling systems in the UK and that this figure could increase to more than 300,000 systems by 2020..
There are many challenges to the wide-spread use of GHSP in domestic sites in London, however, there are some excellent examples of commercial scale schemes operating in London, as the EA points out. These include the Sainsbury’s Crayford store in Bexley, and also the One New Change development in the City, which operates the largest GSHP installation in Europe (Land Securities press release from January 2011 at the opening of the development, providing details of the system).
