Ground-air heat exchangers offer an innovative method for heating and cooling spaces, and are often used on zero carbon/Passivhaus buildings. Ventilation air is simply drawn through underground pipes that pre-heat the air in winter and pre-cool it in summer. This CPD seminar explains in more depth how those systems work and how to specify them correctly.
