How can we model Earth air tunnel heat exchanger in IES-VE?

Hi Sanjay,

There's a PDF on Earth Tubes that might just help you out here:

I hope that helps,

Hello David
I have a questions which is related to setting up the temperature profile for the earth to air heat exchanger (ETAHE). How can the temp profile be set up 2m away into the soil touching the ETAHE walls, floor and roof so that the heat trasnfer is forced to conduct through the soil >> walls >> air. I think if this not done then the simulation may over estimate how well it performs.
