The survey contained five parts and was given to student team members, facultyadvisors, and project clients. Students and faculty completed all five parts. The survey wasdesigned for easy adaptation to other energy engineering capstone projects within any capstoneprogram.

It has an evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion device, and a four-way valve thatallows the refrigeration cycle inversion. Those known as ground source heat pumps are among themost energy efficient systems available today for HVAC applications. Depending on geographicallocation, typical energy savings from a geothermal heat pump system are from 25% to 75% [1-2].Underground temperature values and approximate ground water temperatures in the United Statesare shown in Figure 3a-b.
