I am performing mechanical design and energy modeling for an existing dormitory renovation in upstate NY. There is a concrete crawlspace with ground contact that I think could be used to preheat/precool makeup air. I have checked the Bldg-sim archives but have not found any design guides or recommendations for using existing crawlspaces/basements as earth tubes. We’d be cutting through concrete structural walls to build something so I need to do some homework to justify it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Bill
