Short summary
The aim of the EU funded Cheap-GSHPs project is to reduce the total installation cost of closed-loop shallow geothermal systems. As part of the project a Decision Support System has been developed and released on the web, in order to support the designers. The paper presents the databases that support the DSS: the databases collect and elaborate all the preliminary data necessary during the sizing, such as the geological and drilling aspects as well as the heating and cooling building demand.
