[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Use of ground heat exchanger for cooling a house



Alberto, 

i am not sure if EarthTubeSimpleTest.idf example file suits your purpose. 

The ZoneEarthTube object requires the following inputs
1. Soil Condition around Earth Tube. Select from 4 predefined conditions
2. Average soil Surface Temperature
3. Amplitude of Soil Surface Temperature
4. Phase Constant of Soil Surface temperature 

Data for items 2,3,4 are found using the CalcSoilSurfTemp preprocessor.
