Abstract:Earth-air heat exchangers (EAHE) consist of buried ducts and a ventilation system, which require minimal electricity, making them a cost-effective and sustainable solution for improving the thermal conditions of built environments. To enhance the efficiency of the EAHE system and optimize its use of the soil's thermal potential, we employed a galvanized block with a cross-sectional area of 1.5 m2 around the duct. The simulations conducted in this study used climatic data from Viamão, a city in southern Brazil… Show more
