Abstract
Climatic data may be very important for determining the use of heating and cooling of buildings. At the same time, they are the basic for determining the ground temperature in the different locations, as well as for determining the potential of using geothermal energy. For promoting the diffusion of GSHP (Ground Source Heat Pumps), a tool for sizing these systems will be carried out in the H2020 research project named “Cheap- GSHPs”. The paper presents the set up of a consistent data base of weather conditions for the tool which will be used by both expert technicians and also non expert users. The sets of data have been collected by the TRY data base of Energyplus files (EPW) as well as some weather files of Meteonorm. The different locations have been labelled in terms of DD for heating and cooling as well as by the Köppen -Geiger scale. The work presents a classification of weather conditions in Europe, in order to help the user in selecting the weather conditions which are closest to the location of interest. The data base will be used in the selection tool which will be developed in the second step of the H2020 project.
