Abstract

Geothermal energy is one type of renewable source of energy that can be used as shallow geothermal system for the use of cooling and heating of residential and commercial buildings. In this paper, an intense review is carried out on geothermal heating and cooling for air conditioning with a focus on Earth-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) and Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems. The study is carried out to understand the factors which have a significant effect on the performance of the EAHE and GSHP systems. This paper also focuses on the hybrid work of geothermal heating and cooling system with other forms of energy and provides benefits for designing efficient GSHP and EAHE systems. This study indicates that the important parameters for EAHE and GSHP systems are the thermal conductivity of soil, the water content present in the ground will significantly improve the performance of the systems, and further benefits are discussed in this study.
