This Code of Practice has been produced as a joint project between the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the Ground Source Heat Pump Association (GSHPA) with the backing of the Heat Pump Association (HPA). The work has been supported by the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).Groundwater source heat pumps (GWSHPs) have huge potential and are an underused technology in the UK. Harnessing renewable energy from water wells and mine water represents a huge opportunity to provide low carbon heating and/or cooling to buildings. However, if GWSHPs are to form a significant part of our future low carbon energy infrastructure they need to be designed, built, operated and maintained to a high quality to deliver customer satisfaction. This Code of Practice has been produced to help achieve these aims by raising standards right across the supply chain and to encourage adoption of the technology.Setting minimum requirements (and recommending best practice) should provide greater confidence for specifiers and developers. This Code of Practice can also be included in the tendering/contracting process to specify minimum requirements for a project. The adoption of this Code of Practice by developers could ultimately be used to provide assurance to customers and property purchasers that their GWSHP scheme has followed a set of design, installation and commissioning standards. This Code of Practice should therefore have a significant effect on the GWSHP market by boosting confidence in the technology.CIBSE, GSHPA and HPA are also working to develop compliance checklists and training to ensure the skills necessary to implement the Code of Practice are available across the sector.
