losses from heat that needs to be stored and used for space heating. Despite
the differences in design, low temperature systems tend to offer simple and
relatively inexpensive implementations that are less vulnerable to equip-
ment failure [14]. They do, however, require a building site to be clear of the
water table, bedrock, and existing buildings, and are limited to temperate or
warmer climate zones and space heating operations. High temperature sys-
tems share the same vulnerabilities as conventional space and water heating
systems due to their mechanical and electrical components but also allow
greater control [13] and can be employed in colder climates
