RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] modelling an underground labyrinth

["Danny Bishop" <bish.dj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that - exactly what I am after. Can I ask, does the earth tube
operate standalone, or as part of a loop? 

 

Also, say in the example of the intake type, the fan sucks the air through
the earth tube, and into the zone. How does the air escape the zone, just
naturally through gaps in the building? What parameter sets this flow?

 

Cheers

Danny

Sounds like an earth tube. There is at least one example file and
documentation on earth tubes.

Hi All
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to model a house that has an
underground labyrinth that is supplying cool air?
Cheers
Danny
