Passive cooling in the built environment is now reaching is phase of maturity. Passive
cooling is achieved by the use of techniques for solar and heat control, heat amortization …

The use of ground coupled heat exchanger (GCHE) systems is increasing worldwide. They
are mainly used for space conditioning, water heating, agricultural drying, bathing …

There is a rising interest in heating and cooling systems based on renewable energy
sources. Air heating or cooling with earth-to-air heat exchangers (EAHE) is one approach for …

Open-loop earth-air heat exchangers (EAHE) can be used as a passive contribution to
reduce the energy demand of buildings for heating and cooling, by providing a thermal pre …

The building sector is responsible for 40% of primary energy consumption, with
heating/cooling covering the most significant portion. Thus, passive heating/cooling …

In designing an earth-to-air heat exchanger (EAHX), a decision on design goals has to be
made. If the air flow is given by the ventilation system and the construction site is known, the …

Buildings consume approximately 40% of the global energy use. A significant portion of the
total consumed energy is used in heating and cooling the buildings. Passive concepts are …

The principal drivers that led to the high growth rate in the renewable energy market in
developing countries over the past twenty years include not only the dwindling fossil …

Earth–air–pipe systems can be used to reduce the cooling load of buildings in summer. A
transient and implicit model based on numerical heat transfer and computational fluid …

This paper develops previous research on passive house (PH) space heating. A simple and
accurate ground heat exchanger model is developed. It is based on a numerical transient bi …
