Dear Hugues,<br><br>
there are two different kinds of simulation tools for earth-to-air
exchanger available:<br><br>
stand alone simulation software (without the possibility to calculate
more then the earth-to-air exchanger ):<br><br>
<b>WKM </b>from Huber
(<a href="http://www.igjzh.com/huber/" eudora="autourl">http://www.igjzh.com/huber/</a>)<br>
<b>GAEA </b>from the Uni Siegen
(<a href="http://nesa1.uni-siegen.de/index.htm?/softlab/gaea.htm" eudora="autourl">http://nesa1.uni-siegen.de/index.htm?/softlab/gaea.htm</a>)<br>
some self made capacitance models from our department (in matlab and
fortran)..<br><br>
some modules or types from simulation tools (with the possibility to
calculate the hole air system including the building)<br><br>

anyone knows a simulation tool to evaluate energy savings by earth-to-air
