Resumen
The present research shows a novel approach for the acquisition of
specific competences related to energy efficiency in the Bachelor’s Degree in
Electrical Engineering by the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) when
designing shallow geothermal installations. In particular, the article is focused on
defining the thermal behaviour of the subsoil, a critical issue when performing a
geothermal energy project. The approach is aimed at improving the comprehension
and interpretation of thermal parameters and its role within the operation of a
shallow geothermal system. The contribution is originated from a depth research
process of the authors in the field that has resulted in the creation of a rigorous but
at the same time simple systematic methodology for use at an educational level.
In this way, the presented geothermal procedure (currently implemented in the
Electrical Engineering Degree) will help university students to contextualize the
theoretical knowledge and to better understand and manage the challenges they
will have to face in their future professional career.
