Abstract
Thermo-active piles differ from conventional piles in a way that they have pipes embedded within them, which allow a carrier fluid to circulate through and exchange heat with the ground, in order to provide low carbon heating and cooling. Sustainability targets, such as the Merton Rule, which requires a proportion of the energy demand of the building to be generated on site using renewable sources [1, 2], have facilitated the growing popularity of designing piles to be thermo-active in the United Kingdom [3, 4, 5]. In order to fulfil these sustainability targets and to determine accurately the energy savings by designing piles to be thermo-active, the thermal performance of thermo-active piles has to be determined.
