Degree-Day Index for Estimating the Thermal Requirements of a Greenhouse Equipped with an Air-Earth Heat Exchanger System

In this research, an attempt was made to utilize an Earth-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) system as a source of shallow geothermal energy to provide thermal demands of a commercial greenhouse located in Alborz province, Iran. The degree-day index was applied to estimate the EAHE system’s potential to meet...
