We evaluate the impact of future climate scenarios on the performance (cooling potential & thermal comfort) of a floor cooling system coupled to a (fluid to fluid) heat exchanger that is connected to a heat pump (compressor is not active during summer = passive cooling). This whole system is connected to a vertical ground source heat exchanger (2 boreholes).
Our supervisor developed typical weather files for the future climate scenario's. (parameters: outdoor temperature, solar radiation, wind ...) But no specific parameter for the ground temperature ( in future) has made and put into those epw files. We filled in a ground temperature of 13°C (for the vertical ground heat exchanger) for the current climate and validation of our model.
So our question is whether OpenStudio takes into consideration the weather files ( incl. outside temperature, solar radiation, wind ...) to adapt the ground temperature (to 100m deep) of the simulation/model or not? Or do we have to enter a new ground (probably higher) temperature for the future scenarios.
Kind regards, Pieter
