본 연구에서는 파급효과가 큰 공동주택에서 지열 냉난방 시스템의 경제성을 아파트 분양평형, 운전시간, 냉난방 및 급탕 설치형태별로 구분하여 초기 공사비 증가, 운전비 절감액, 초기 투자비 회수기간등을 산정하였다. 냉난방 및 급탕 운전시간이 많을수록 초기 공사비 증가액에 비해 운전비용 절감액이 커 초기 투자비 회수기간이 단축되었다. 전용면적이 클수록 투자회수 기간이 길었으며 냉난방 및 급탕 설치형태에서는 냉난방을 지열원, 급탕을 폐열회수한 경우가 초기 투자 회수기간이 가장 짧았다. 기존 시스템(패키지 에어콘, LNG 난방 및 급탕)에 비해 냉난방, 급탕을 모두 지열로 이용하는 경우, 냉난방은 지열, 급탕은 폐열을 이용하는 경우, 냉난방은 지열, 급탕은 LNG인 경우에 공사비가 $m^2$당 각각 약 72,000원, 66,900원, 62,300원 정도 증가하였다.
This paper studied the economical efficiency of ground source heat pump system under various conditions in apartments which have important effects on the housing market. And this study analysed the initial cost increase, saved managing cost and recovery time of initial cost. Analysis result showed as time of heating-cooling and water heating increases, the amount of saved managing cost increased much than the initial construction cost, so recovery time shortened. And as the net area of apartment increases, the recovery time increased. The study of the relation between the installation type and recovery time of initial construction cost showed when heat-cooling system adapted ground source heat and water heating system adapted waste heat, the initial construction cost was recovered most quickly. When Ground Source Heating system was used for the heating-cooling and water heating system, ground source heating system was used for the heating-cooling and waste heat used for water heating, and ground source heating system was used for the heating-cooling and LNG used for water heating, the construction cost increased 72,000, 66,900 and 62,300 won each per $m^2$ compared to the current system (package air-conditioner, heating and water heating using LNG).
