Field performance of an energy pile system for space heating

This paper describes the field performance of air conditioning with an energy pile system, which was applied to the pile foundations of an actual building for the purpose of reducing the cost of the underground heat exchanger. First, the building for both office and residential use, for which a space heating and cooling system using friction piles was installed, was built in Sapporo in December 2000. Second, three tests were carried out to...
