Abstract
Long-term temperature monitoring has been performed for ground heat exchanger at the Earthquake Research Center (ERC) building in Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). For the 3 years of monitoring, overall temperature increases are observed at various depths within a borehole heat exchanger. But monitoring of ground temperature variation at the monitoring well beforehand showed that geothermal utilization is not the only source for the temperature increase, Because various kinds of sources can cause the ground temperature change, more thorough investigation should be followed.
