Abstract
Iraq is rich in renewable energy resources while suffering from a severe shortage of electrical power supplying hours, accordingly the current study aims at design a ground source heat pump system (two-ton compression air conditioning systems) utilizing from shallow subterranean energy in order to rationalization electricity consumption. The results refer to huge contribution of shallow geothermal energy source in rationalization in electric power consumption. The results show a doubling in coefficient of performance and reduction in active electric power to more than the half of its original value.
