The application features geothermal ventilation of the passive house in the cold season

To maintain permissible parameters in a passive house must be installed mechanical ventilation system. To previous preheat outside air for ventilation system is advisable to use low potential energy of the Earth. Currently, the implementation using ground-air heat exchanger requires extensive parametric studies, development and implementation of engineering calculation methods, a comprehensive study of the possibilities of effective exploitation. Technical prerequisites of use ground-air heat exchanger of geothermal ventilation and the results of analytical studies determining the temperature of the soil at different depths during the year are shown in the article. The graphical dependences of soil temperature during cold season for different values of depths of the heat exchanger laying are obtained. According to the research the recommended depth of laying of ground-air heat exchangers for Lviv was determined.
