What’s the hold up on ground source heat pumps?

January 30, 2025

In Spring 2024, Genius Energy Lab asked three key questions to their GSHP industry peers, leaders and stakeholders:

  • What are the barriers to adoption of GSHP?
  • What are the motivations for consideration of GSHP?
  • What are the decision factors for choosing GSHP?  

Working with developers, end users and consulting engineers such as Hoare Lee and Aecom, Genius Energy Lab has created a unique report which reveals the motivations, barriers, and decision-making factors in the shift towards this efficient, eco-friendly technology.

Key Findings Include:

  • Barriers to Adoption: High initial costs, regulatory complexities, and lack of understanding.
  • Motivations for GSHP: Carbon reduction, low running costs, and energy security.
  • Deciding Factors: Superior energy efficiency and lowest total cost of ownership.
