Abstract

Previous studies in Cyprus classified the island in the category of low enthalpy with high potentials in the usage of geothermal energy for space air-conditioning. Due to the little existing information about the underground thermal properties, an extended geological sampling has been carried out on the island. Measurements of thermal properties have been performed in the laboratory at room temperature for all the collected samples both in their dry and water-saturated state. The impact on thermal conductivity of water in samples, the mineralogical composition, and the geological age of samples have been the objectives of the current study.
