Geothermal Energy: Using the Earth to Cool Buildings-Ground heat recovery for radiant floor cooling

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am using the pipe flow model to perform long time runs to study the impact of seasonal temperature variations or even use the pipes for cooling purposes in the summer. I need the piping arranging to cool the building continiously for 1 day. Can this simulation be used for geothermal cooling systems/ ground source cooling systems for different pipe arrangements?
