Volumetric heat capacity map of rocks and soils in Slovenia 1: 100,000
The map shows the volumetric heat capacity of rocks and soils in MJ / m2K. The input data are the Basic geological map of Slovenia at a scale of 1: 100,000 and the average measured values of the volumetric heat capacities of rocks and soils. Depending on the presence of certain types of rocks, measured values are attributed to the mapped lithological units.
The purpose of the map is a spatial presentation of volumetric heat capacity values of rocks and soils in Slovenia. Volumetric heat capacity represents one of the key parameters for calculation of exploitation potential for shallow geothermal sources.
Use: + Research and use of shallow geothermal energy for heating and cooling the facilities + Preparation of professional bases for geothermal heat pump systems planning + Spatial planning + Guidelines for the development of local energy concepts
