The effect of using the warmth of the upper earth crust formed by the several thousand degree hot earth core. Special heating systems can use the thermal energy generated by using heat exchangers or the direct utilization of the heat. Plastic pipes are laid in a coil form below the frost line. A heat pump converts this energy for use. This energy is used, for example, for underfloor heating.
