- Abstract
Unrestricted, The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system (HVAC) is one of the most important aspects of building energy efficiency. In order to enhance energy efficiency, design strategies always pay primary attention to the HVAC system design. The Ground Source Heat Pump is a relatively new system which has high performance with respect to energy efficiency and reduces carbon emissions correspondingly.; This research focuses on the energy consumption and economic benefits of a Ground Source Heat Pump installation. This system has been installed in the Pudong natatorium in Shanghai, a building which was formerly serviced by a conventional package VAV system with natural gas boiler. Measurements were be made of system performance and energy use for the former system and will be repeated for the newly installed Ground Source Heat Pump system. Computer simulation tools will also be applied for the two systems and the results compared with measured data. Computer simulations will be based on the simulation tool -- Equest 3-63(DOE2). We anticipate the result will prove the Geothermal Heat Pump has a high performance on energy efficiency and economic saving.
