The WMS viewing service of the Shallow Geothermal Energy Potential Maps database contains the following information layers collected and produced within the framework of the Shallow Geothermal Energy Pottential Maps project:• 13 area-specific GIS information layers:o thermal conductivity maps λ [W/m*K] at depths of 40, 70, 100 and 130 m below ground level;o unit heat output maps qv [W/m] for 1800 h of heat pump operation per year at depths of 40, 70, 100 and 130 m below ground level;o unit heat output maps...

Thermal conductivity of a geological unit relevant for shallow geothermal energy use (e.g. bedrock).

Maps showing average values of thermal conductivity of soils and rocks, expressed in units of W/(m*K), for the 0-100 m depth interval.Maps were created on the basis of a numerical, three-dimensional model of geological structure (base model), which was then filled with geological-thermal series with assigned values of thermal conductivity rate expressed in units [W/m*K] (parametric model). The parametric model was used to calculate the average value of thermal conductivity of soils and rocks at each point ...

The intrinsic ability of hard rock samples to conduct heat.

The maximum temperature shift between the production and the injection well that is possible with regards to legal or ecological limitations.

This Web service provides the BGS Thermal Properties (1 km hex grid) dataset as a Web Map Service (WMS). This dataset shows thermal properties relating to bedrock beneath our feet. The information can be used to assess the potential for closed and open loop ground source heat pumps across, or deeper geothermal assessments, across the United Kingdom. The attribution and spatial data underpinning the model are that which is described and shown by Rollin (1987) and Gale (2004, 2005).

Thermal response test (TRT) is the customary method to determine ground thermal conductivity in situ.
