    The Earth Air Tunnel system utilizes the constant temperature below ground to provide buildings with heating and cooling. It works by pumping air through underground tunnels where the air absorbs or releases heat to match the temperature four meters below the surface. This has been successfully used at research facilities in India to maintain living quarters between 20-30 degrees Celsius year-round. The system includes tunnels, air intake ports, dehumidification, ducts, and grills to transfer the temperature-regulated air into buildings.

    Earth Air Tunnel
    • The Earth Air Tunnel (EAT) systems utilizes the heat-storing capacity of
    earth and the fact that the year round temperature four meter below the
    surface remains almost constant throughout the year. That makes it
    potentially useful in providing buildings with air-conditioning. Depending
    on the ambient temperature of the location, the EAT system can be used
    to provide both cooling during the summer and heating during winter.

    • The tunnels would be especially useful for large buildings with ample
    surrounding ground. The EAT system can not be cost effective for small
    individual residential buildings.

    • The ground temperature remains constant and air if pumped in


    appropriate amount that allows sufficient contact time for the heat
    transfer to the medium attains the same temperature as the ground
    temperature.
    Variables of the Earth Air Tunnel:
    • Length of the tunnel (Enough for air to lose
    heat to a certain extent)
    • Depth of the tunnel
    • Material of the tunnel
    • Diameter of tunnel (due to inner surface area)
    • Temperature of air
    • Difference between ambient temperature and
    earth temperature
    •Earth Air Tunnels have been
    used successfully at TERI
    retreat at Gurgaon, Gul Pahari,
    Delhi, where the underground
    tunnels serve the living
    quarters. The living quarters
    are maintained at
    temperatures approximately
    between 20 to 300 C round the
    year.

    • The system utilizes tunnel, air


    intake ports and
    dehumidification. The treated
    air is passed to the spaced
    through ducts and supply grills
    and are allowed to escape to
    the atmosphere after affecting
    the desired heat transfer in the
    space.
