The society and the building professionals have paid much concern in recent years on building energy efficiency and the development and applications of low energy technologies for buildings/green buildings allowing the elimination, or at least reduction of dependence on electricity or fossil...

Hybrid ground source heat pump (HGSHP) system coupled with supplemental heat rejection equipment in parallel configuration is suitable for buildings where the cooling load is much higher than the heating load. Appropriate control is expected to improve its energy efficiency. A control strategy...

Ground source heat pump system attracts increasing attention worldwide in the past decades. It uses soil as the heat source/sink to supply heating and cooling to buildings. In the cooling dominated area, ground source heat pump system couples with the supplemental heat rejecter to avoid the...
