Effect of different type of soil in efficiency of thermal reduction in earth air heat exchanger (EAHE)

Effect of different type of soil in efficiency of thermal reduction in earth air heat exchanger (EAHE)

Earth Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) had shown to provide an effective and economical approach in reducing indoor building temperature as well as reducing electricity consumption and carbon dioxide emission. As an earth coupling, EAHE is designed to indirectly cool or heat buildings by ventilating outdoo...
