Energy-Pile Model Verification

Abstract

Equipping the foundation piles with a liquid circuit pipeline makes it possible to use the advantageous thermal capacity of the soil for heating and cooling buildings at low cost. The energy performance of the energy-pile in a soil is a transient phenomenon dependent on many parameters, which could be investigate by a computational model. The contribution deals with the description and verification of a new numerical computational software based on a simpli-fied 2D and 2D rotational symmetrical heat conduction model being developed for energy-piles modeling.Equipping the foundation piles with a liquid circuit pipeline makes it possible to use the advantageous thermal capacity of the soil for heating and cooling buildings at low cost.
