Abstract
The earth-to-air heat exchanger (EAHE) is a well-founded and verified solution used in modern buildings both for heating and cooling purposes around the world. However, there is a lack of studies on operation of such devices cooperating with ventilation systems of buildings in hourly time step. In this study, the 5R1C thermal network model of a building from EN ISO 13790 was coupled with the EAHE model from EN 16798-5-1 to calculate hourly outlet air temperature. To improve the effectiveness of the considered solution, an additional algorithm was developed to choose between the EAHE outlet and ambient air as the source of ventilation air. Simulations were conducted in a spreadsheet for a low-energy single-family building. Ground temperature was compared with measurements taken in the considered location. The application of the EAHE with the proposed bypass resulted in a decrease in annual energy use for space heating and cooling from 14.82 GJ and 1.67 GJ to 12.74 GJ and 0.93 GJ, i.e., by 14% and 44%, respectively. Peak hourly heating and cooling thermal power decreased from 2.73 kW and 3.06 kW to 2.21 kW and 2.34 kW. Introduction of a bypass and switching between the EAHE and ambient air as the source of ventilation for the building resulted in annual energy savings of 123 kWh.
