Full Description

Ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems consume less purchased energy than an HVAC system using fossil fuel and electricity directly for heating and cooling. However, the cost of building the ground heat exchanger (GHX) often prevents acceptance of GCHP systems. Integrating TES with a GCHP system can provide benefits in projects with large, predictable and intermittent peak heating and/or cooling loads.
