Modeling the Relationships of Factors Affecting Dissemination of Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) in China

Abstract:

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems have been employed in the Chinese building sector and many policies and legislations have been issued by the government for its dissemination because of its great potential for energy saving. However, the relationships among the factors affecting dissemination of such technologies have been little studied and therefore, supporting measures may have limited impact on their dissemination. This research employed Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT) to model the associations among the factors affecting dissemination of Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems in China, laying out a theoretical foundation for policy makers and future research.
