Impacts of dynamic interactions on the predicted thermal performance of earth–air heat exchangers for preheating, cooling and ventilation of buildings (2015)
Journal Article
Gan, G. (in press). Impacts of dynamic interactions on the predicted thermal performance of earth–air heat exchangers for preheating, cooling and ventilation of buildings. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, Article ctv029. https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctv029

Earth–air tunnel ventilation is an energy efficient ventilation technique that makes use of relatively stable soil temperature in shallow ground for preheating and cooling of supply air to a building. During operation, an earth–air heat exchanger int...

Simulation of dynamic interactions of the earth–air heat exchanger with soil and atmosphere for preheating of ventilation air (2015)
Journal Article
Gan, G. (2015). Simulation of dynamic interactions of the earth–air heat exchanger with soil and atmosphere for preheating of ventilation air. Applied Energy, 158, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2015.08.081

Earth–air tunnel ventilation is an energy efficient means of preheating and cooling of supply air to a building. Due to changing soil and atmospheric conditions and the consequent changes in heating and cooling loads of a building during operation, a...

Optimization of building-integrated photovoltaic thermal air system combined with thermal storage (2015)
Journal Article
Xiang, Y., & Gan, G. (2015). Optimization of building-integrated photovoltaic thermal air system combined with thermal storage. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 10(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctv010

Photovoltaic (PV) combined with phase change material (PV/PCM) system is a hybrid solar system that uses a PCM to reduce the PV temperature and to store energy for other applications. This study aims to increase the integrated PV efficiency of buildi... Read More about Optimization of building-integrated photovoltaic thermal air system combined with thermal storage.
