Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with a possibility of using alternative energy sources with special attention to geothermal energy, especially to low-energy thermal sources. Students must acquire the knowledge of analytical methods of evaluation of input data on observed geohydrodynamic systems, and on the basis of synthesis to propose an optimal use of the given sources, including a methodology for drilling and equipping boreholes for heat pumps in accordance with the mining act, water act and building act. Then to be able to apply this knowledge also in further professional activities.

Summary
Protection and creation of environment. Alternative energy resources.
Geothermal energy – history and perspectives of utilization. Economical
evaluation. Geothermal systems – thermoenergic potential of geothermal waters,
high and low – temperature resources (heat pumps, volumetric and through –
flow
supply capacity), geothermal objects. Location of a potential geothermal
energy
resources. Evaluation of the locality as the possible source of geothermal
energy. Technical evaluation of the locality. Ecological effects – waste water
disposal (liquidation).
