To follow-up on a previous discussion of the modeling of buildings that incorporate ground loop heat pump systems, I have attached a figure from overall results of recent work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory using DOE-2. I received these results today; they were sent to me by their author, Howard McLain. More detail is available in Howard's complete ASHRAE paper on this topic and I expect there will be further ORNL publications on his work. Questions on the work should be sent to Howard at the address in the attachment; I can answer question on DOE-2 specifics. -- Jeff Hirsch James J.
