ShareComparison of practical vertical ground heat exchanger sizing methods to a Fort Polk data/model benchmark.
Author(s) : THORNTON J. W., MCDOWELL T. P., HUGHES P. J.
Summary
The results of five practical vertical ground heat exchanger sizing programs are compared against a detailed simulation model that has been calibrated to monitored data taken from one military family housing unit at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The calibration of the detailed model to data is described in a companion paper. It is recommended that the calibration and comparison exercise be repeated with data sets from additional sites in order to build confidence in the practical sizing methods.
