An Innovative Use of Renewable Ground Heat for Insulation in Low Exergy Building Systems
Ground heat is a renewable resource that is readily available for buildings in cool climates, but its relatively low temperature requires the use of a heat pump to extract it for heating. We developed a system that uses low temperature ground heat directly in a building wall to reduce transmission h...
