This review examines the integration of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems with energy piles as a sustainable approach to improving energy efficiency in smart cities.
This study aims to evaluate the integration of ground source heat pumps into Swedish elderly homes.
Ground source heat pump is able to transform the low-grade heat energy into the high-grade heat energy through the energy stored in the soil and a small amount of power so as to make full use of all energy and alleviate environmental pollution.

Moving forward, it's essential to keep these visual contexts in mind when discussing Ground Source Heat Pump Integration.
In this context, ground source heat pumps (GSHP) in tandem with borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) is an attractive technological option for efficient dis- patching of heating and cooling loads, the integration of renewable energy sources (RES), and waste heat.
Heat Pump: Instead of air, ground-source heat pumps use a fluid flowing through the ground heat exchanger as their source (in heating) or sink (in cooling). On the building side, both air and hydronic (water) systems are possible.

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) uses the ground or ground water as heat source-sink. However, integrating the technology at end user and its acceptability significantly affects its performance.

At their core, Ground Source Heat Pumps harness thermal energy stored below the earths surface.Furthermore, urban environments present a unique opportunity for GSHP integration, especially when paired with district energy systems or other shared infrastructure models.
