Abstract—The Earth houses a vast energy supply in the form
of geothermal resources. This energy can be used in several
applications. In this work the potential of energy saving using
geothermal energy in residential sector in Jordan was
investigated. The use of geothermal energy for both domestic
hot water and in HVAC systems was studied. Two types of
geothermal heat exchangers were presented in this work; cast
iron heat exchanger for HVAC systems and polyethylene for
domestic hot water. Energy consumption can by reduced up to
30% by installing geothermal heat exchanger
