A review of the earth-to-air heat exchanger as a passive cooling and heating technique and the affecting parameters

Abstract

In recent times the EAHE is widely used as a passive cooling and heating technique due to the mounting thermal potential of the earth and because of the energy crisis. In the past years much, research has been published including studying this type of heat exchanger and using it in many applications and many locations with different climate conditions. Also, this research investigated the most affecting parameters. In this paper, a review is prepared to survey the published literature in this field to shed light on the research.
