Jannis and Fabian teamed up with colleagues to assess the theoretical and technical geothermal potentials in the city of Basel. They showed how quantitative methods on a scientific basis can support thermal management strategies of shallow groundwater. This was accomplished by providing solutions for an energy potential assessment on the city-scale and for selected city quarters. In addition, the suitability of “active” (open-loop systems) and “passive” (thermally activated building elements) geothermal applications has been compared by feasibility indicators.
