众所周知，地源热泵（GSHP）系统具有巨大的节能潜力，因为它们能够实现更高的系统效率。然而，它们的节能潜力取决于许多因素，如适当的设计和控制、定期维护以及所服务建筑的位置和类型。大量研究集中在此类系统的设计和控制方面，但通常忽略了建筑物本身（包括其类型和位置）对地源热泵系统节能的影响。因此，本文旨在通过实际测量和数值模拟，找出使用地源热泵时，建筑物类型和位置与其潜在节能之间的关系。 为此，研究了在寒冷气候地区配备地源热泵系统的三种不同类型的建筑，包括消防站、教堂建筑和小型办公室。在本研究中，这些建筑是通过考虑其不同的运行计划来选择的，这可能会对建筑能耗和节能产生重大影响。从建筑物所有者处获得的实际公用事业账单用于校准为这三座建筑物建立的数值模拟模型。然后，将这些校准模型与配备传统HVAC（供暖、通风和空调）系统（根据ASHRAE 90）的基准建筑进行比较，以确定潜在的节能。 1). 通过将这三座建筑从其原始位置（ASHRAE气候区7）定位到其他不同气候区，研究建筑位置对节能的影响。本研究结果表明，“所有气候区都适合在美国应用地源热泵系统”，但地源热泵系统的节能潜力因建筑类型和位置（气候区）而异。在调查的建筑中，教堂建筑有可能通过使用地源热泵系统实现更高的节能。这项研究将有助于设计师和建筑业主理性地决定地源热泵系统是否适合他们的项目，尤其是考虑到与其他常见系统相比，此类系统的投资相对较高- 二手暖通空调系统。引用:2020年虚拟会议论文

Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems are known to have an enormous potential for energy savings due to their ability to achieve higher system efficiencies. Their energy-saving potential, however, varies depending on many factors, such as the appropriate design and control, regular maintenance, and the locations and types of the buildings served. A vast amount of research was focused on the design and control aspects of this type of system, but the impacts of a building itself including its type and location on the energy savings of GSHP systems are usually neglected. This paper, therefore, aims to find out the relationship between the type and location of a building and its potential energy savings when a GSHP is used through real measurements and numerical simulations. To do so, three different types of buildings that are equipped with GSHP systems in a cold climate region are studied, including a fire station, a church building, and a small office. These buildings are selected in this study by considering their distinct operating schedules, which may have a significant impact on building energy consumption and savings. Actual utility bills that were obtained from building owners are used to calibrate the numerical simulation models established for these three buildings. These calibrated models are then used to identify the potential energy savings when comparing them with baseline buildings that are equipped with conventional HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems (according to the ASHRAE 90.1). The impact of building locations on energy savings is investigated by locating these three buildings from their original place (ASHRAE Climate Zone 7) to other different climate zones. The result of this study shows that "all the climate zones are suitable for the application of GSHP systems in the United States", but the energy-saving potential of GSHP systems varies with building type and location (climate zone). Among the buildings investigated, the church building has the potential for achieving higher energy savings by using GSHP systems. This study is expected to be helpful for designers and building owners to make a decision rationally on if GSHP systems are appropriate for their projects, especially in consideration of the relatively high investment of this type of system compared to other commonly-used HVAC systems.
