I am not an HVAC expert.
I think, the earth tube, solar panels, etc. can all be modelled separetly to determine its heat transfer characteristics, with the outside air weather conditions, and then use the result as the modified outside air intake.
The air flows into the system is like having outside air mixer with a separately conditioned air temperture, different from that surrounding the building, but related to the same outside air condition.
One OA mixer can feed many building zones. The earth tube number is not relavent, as the simulation system can have mixers. The outside air is considered as one zone.
This is just an adea I am trying out. No result to report yet.
The ground temperature, how deep and how wet, and tube construction data are being collected.

Dear EnergyPlus users,
I would like to know when or if there is a current development meant to
allow modelling several earth tubes in parallel and with possibility to
connect their outlet air flow to whatever node (would it be zone inlet
or AHU mixing box) in order to be able to calculate real installations.
As far as I could see, now we can just connect 1 earth tube for 1 zone,
right?
Thanks for the help,
Sincerely
Aymeric
