Re: Earth-House

Hi,

Just as Jeff Thornton, we developped and intensively tested a 3d conduction model for the ground, which can be linked to the multi-zone building model in TRNSYS (Type 56). It is meant to be used for thermal storage, with tubes running within it, but it can also be used without any tubes.

If you would like more detailed information, let me know about it.

Dear TRNSYS - Users

I have to simulate an earth-house (office building). The idea is to use the
surounding ground
as an thermal storage and therefore not to isolate the walls against the
ground.
Is somebody experienced in this area?

How is the termal behaviour of the ground near the building depending on
the ambient temperature and the temperature within the building?

thanks for your help
