Abstract
Korea gets most of its housing energy from fossil fuel which can be mined only for 30 years. So the development of an alternative energy is very important. Solar and underground thermal energy are two of these alternatives but little study has been conducted on these. For use of underground energy, we need accurate data regarding underground temperature, but there are only 30 measuring points for underground temperature in the entire country. We need to have a method of predicting underground temperature precisely. In this study the underground temperature is measured at under 3m in Gumi, and these data are compared with predicted data for checking the accuracy of the predicting method.
