Abstract

Combined techniques for flood management and energy saving are the future pathway to create multifunctional spaces that improve the liveability of our urban environments by creating better spaces, reducing flooding problems and reintroducing biodiversity into the heart of our cities. Green Infrastructure such as swales has the potential to be designed in combination with Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) techniques to provide a wider range of benefits, including energy saving. A pilot study conducted between 3 different countries (UK, USA and Spain) has been developed producing promising results for the implementation of GSHP on Green Infrastructure.
