本論文は、英国で確立されたエネルギー地中構造物（EGS）の設計フレームワークを、ペルー・アンデス地域に移転するための比較・適応枠組みを提案する。地中熱交換器を基礎に組み込むことで、建物の冷暖房の運用カーボン排出量を約3分の1削減可能であることを示す。ただし、ペルーでの実証データはなく、理論的な枠組みに留まる。最終的に、リマでの初の計測パイロット工事の段階的提案を行う。
English
This paper proposes a transferable design framework for energy geostructures (EGS) — foundation elements with ground heat exchangers — adapted from UK practice to the Peruvian Andes. It synthesizes UK thermo-mechanical design parameters and creates a comparative matrix with Andean soil conditions, showing potential operational carbon reductions of ~33% and energy savings >40% versus conventional HVAC. The findings are theoretical due to lack of instrumented Peruvian data, and the paper outlines a staged pilot project in Lima.

In the global GX context
Globally, energy geostructures offer a scalable low-carbon solution for building heating and cooling. This paper's cross-regional transfer framework (from a mature UK practice to a seismically active developing country) is relevant for countries with similar gaps, and the integration of seismic codes aligns with ISSB/TCFD resilience considerations.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a structured comparative framework for adapting energy geostructures to new seismic regions, useful for researchers in geotechnical engineering and building decarbonization.
🏢実務担当者:Offers guidance on integrating ground-source heat pumps into foundation design, with potential for operational cost savings, but requires local pilot data.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for policy support for pilot projects and building codes that incorporate energy geostructures for net-zero targets.
📄 Abstract（原文）
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Energy geostructures (EGS) — foundation and retaining elements such as piles, diaphragm walls, tunnel linings and slabs fitted with closed-loop ground heat exchangers — are an established low-carbon strategy for building space heating and cooling in the United Kingdom, where several decades of instrumented field trials and thermo-mechanical design frameworks now underpin engineering practice. This paper develops a structured, literature-based comparative and design framework for carbon-neutral EGS deployment, and critically examines the technical and institutional gap that separates United Kingdom and United States practice from Peru, a seismically active Andean nation with no documented EGS installations in the indexed scientific literature. The methodology combines: (i) a synthesis of United Kingdom geotechnical and thermal design parameters and the governing thermo-mechanical and heat-transfer equations used for energy piles; (ii) a quantitative comparative matrix built exclusively from data reported in peer-reviewed, DOI-verified sources for the United Kingdom, the United States, and analogous Andean soil conditions documented in Ecuador; and (iii) a proposed adaptation route for Peru that integrates EGS construction with the country's mandatory seismic and geotechnical codes. Reported life-cycle assessments indicate operational carbon-emission reductions of approximately one-third and energy-consumption reductions above 40% for ground-source systems relative to conventional fossil-fuel-based heating, ventilation and air-conditioning baselines, with performance strongly dependent on soil thermal conductivity and local climate. Because no instrumented Peruvian energy pile currently exists, the findings presented are explicitly theoretical and comparative rather than empirical; the paper closes with a concrete, staged proposal for the country's first instrumented pilot energy pile in Lima.</p>
