[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: modelling an underground labyrinth



I had a look at the earth tube model, but an earth labyrinth is more along the lines of thermal storage as well as ground heat transfer, using the concrete to store heat and coolth. 

Any ideas on the best approach for an earth labyrinth, with will have heat transfer from the ground, as well as thermal storage from the concrete mass?

Thanks!
