    The Albanian geothermal springs and wells arelocatedinthreedifferentareas:IshmiKruja,Ardenicaand Peshkopia. They differ from eachother bygeological and thermohydrogeological features andcharacteristics. Each one of them is result of theregional tectonics and seismic activity. The Ishmi

    Kruja geothermal zone, Figure 1, is close to theMotherTeresainternationalairport.

    The Geological Structure of the RegionKruja geothermal zone represents a zone with largegeothermalresources.TheKrujageothermalzonehasa length of 180 km. The Kruja Geothermal Zoneextends from the Adriatic Sea in the North andcontinuesdowntotheSouth EasternareaofAlbaniaand to the Konitza area in Greece.

    The Scheme for the Integral, Cascade and

    Hybrid Use of the Kozani-8 Geothermal

    Waters

    Itwas thoughtby thegroupofauthors, that thebestandmoreefficientway touse thegeothermalwatersofKozani8well is theconstructionsofamulticenter[9]. The center will include the SPA, massage andfitness center, open and closed pools (with different

    sizes and temperatures), greenhouse, aquaculturecultivation pools, conference rooms etc. The centerwill be heated through the geothermal direct use(through the installation of the heat exchangers) [5],while for the cooling willbe installed a geothermalheat pump [3]. The roof, covered with solar panels,whose combination can provide the sanitary waterandalsoapartof them,willcirculate thegeothermalwater and increase its temperature, allowing so theelectricity production (the hybrid system). Thiselectricity will serve for the lighting system of the

    center (green energy). In theFigure 4, is showed thefrontaland lateralviewof thecenter, in theFigure5,the principal sketch of the integral, cascade and thehybrid system, while in the figure 6 is showed theaquaculturecultivationprincipalsketch.

    The proposed center will have several pools: 1geothermal pool (designed as a natural pond, sized10*8*0.5 m, water temperature 38Cdegasified); 1open Olympic pool (sized 50*23*3 m, watertemperature30C);1sweetwaterpool(sized10*5*1.5mescalate,watertemperature38Cdegasified,lightlyclosed); 1 kids sweet water pool (sized 5*3*0.5 mescalate,watertemperature30C).Thecriteriaforpooldesigning are: psychological and physiologicalcomfort,roadswidth13m,heightoftheclosedpools

    4m,temperature&humiditylevel,easymaintenanceand thenoise levelbelow 60dB The thermal loads,based on their nature and effect on the thermalbalance, can be calculated as loses or thermalincrement.Theheatlosesofthesystemareinfluenced

    by a number of factors including the number of theguests, their physical activity, the electricalequipments, solar radiation, natural ventilation,thermo insulation etc. Calculation for the electricalequipments are madebased on the assumption thatthe maximum load, varies during the day, to avoidtheirsupersizing.IntheFigure7,isshowedthewatercirculationschemeforthepools. Onthefirstcascadethewaterwillbeused forhouseheatingandalso forpools. The waterdischargedby thegeothermal andhot water pool (38C) willbe used for the spirulina
