      An earth-coupled water-source heat pump uses the earth as the thermal source and sink for economical, energy efficient, space heating and cooling. Water exiting the heat pump passes through an earth heat exchanger, which ...
    • Braud, H. J.; Quille, T.; Shih, J. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
      The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Transfer Function Method (TFM) was validated using two identical wood frame residential-type structures, each containing an east and ...
