Abstract

The numerical 3D finite element flow and heat transport subsurface model of the study area serves as a baseline to evaluate the representativeness of the box models regarding ATES power density in the city of Freiburg. The exact delineation of the study area is done in a way so that the majority of the built-up area of Freiburg is included and considers the hydraulic and topographic conditions. The model covers an area of about 72 km 2 and includes
