    • Community Geothermal: Borefield Design, Thermal Conductivity, and Subsurface Modeling Data - Chicago, IL

    Metadata Updated: January 20, 2025

    This dataset encompasses the development of a geothermal energy system for the West Woodlawn neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois. This project is part of a broader initiative to design and deploy geothermal heating and cooling systems at a community scale. The dataset includes thermal conductivity test results, calculations for borehole sizing based on the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) method, as well as simulated thermal loads based on actual energy usage from individual buildings. Also provided here are files used for numerical modeling via COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate borefield design and subsurface thermal behavior. Two manuscripts are attached, which outline the broad objectives of the project and a description of the numerical modeling methodology and results.
