: Shallow geothermal energy is an important part of geothermal resources, and the development of shallow geothermal energy must be based on geological exploration evaluation, and the thermal response test is the basic method to obtain the thermal properties such as initial temperature and thermal conductivity of the rock and soil which are should be mastered. In this paper, five working conditions of two boreholes were carried out in an area of Lanzhou city, including the initial stratigraphy temperature, the constant heating of two powers (4kW and 8kW), the constant temperature heating and the constant temperature refrigeration. Obtained the initial stratigraphy temperature is 14.94 ℃, the thermal conductivity is 2.54 W/(m.K), the heatSemission and absorption per meter of single hole are 63.07 and 25.54W/m respectively, and evaluated the shallow geothermal energy resources through these data.
