CEN/WS GEOFIT - Design and installation guidelines for a building retrofitting concept based on EGS (enhanced geothermal systems)
The goal of this CEN Workshop agreement is to develop a CWA to provide guidelines that aid to the viable and cost effective use of advanced EGS by introducing a novel concept on building retrofitting based on geothermal energy and EGS, through the integration and validation of a suite of technologies, tools and methods facilitating their easy application and massive deployment of the shallow geothermal energy.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
This CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) provides orientation for the management of building retrofitting projects based on enhanced shallow geothermal technologies.
This document provides guidelines for the classification of an integrated design team and the identification of the primary roles of actors among the whole project life-cycle. This document also provides a general workflow for building retrofitting projects based on enhanced shallow geothermal technologies, to be adapted or modified considering the specificities of each project requirements, and site characteristics, and stakeholder profiles involved in the process.
This CWA is not designed to support European legislative requirements or to address issues with significant health and safety implications. CEN and CENELEC are not accountable for its technical content or any possible conflict with national standards or legislation.
