2021-03-26 15:20:50 -0500 edited answer Some confusions about Ground Source Heat Pump in OS

You don't need to make separate loops for heating and cooling. The whole point of a common ground loop (where all heat p

Out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to have a schematic of the system design?

2020-02-21 16:58:37 -0500 commented answer Model vertical helical ground heat exchanger in EnergyPlus

The unfortunately reality is that none of these models are particularly good at predicting actual conditions of ground h

The pond model should take temperature fluctuation of the pond water into account, much like the ground temperature vari

2020-02-21 08:32:35 -0500 answered a question Model vertical helical ground heat exchanger in EnergyPlus

How deep are the boreholes? If they are fairly shallow, it's probably reasonable to assume that the ground temperature f
