Ground heat transfer effects on the thermal performance of earth-contact structures
TL;DR: A review of ground heat transfer effects on the thermal performance of earth contact structures is presented in this paper, where the fundamental heat transfer processes relevant to the problem are described along with methods of determining thermal properties of soils.

In-situ measurements and numerical simulation of heat transfer beneath a heated ground floor slab
TL;DR: In this article, an in situ experiment designed to monitor the thermal behavior of a real heated slab-on-ground floor is described, and the results of a numerical simulation of heat transfer beneath the slab and the surrounding ground are reported.

Review paper: Earth-contact heat flows: Review and application of design guidance predictions
M.H. Adjali,M. Davies,J. Littler +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the existing methods of calculating a structure's heat transfer with the ground shows both the complexity of the problem and the myriad of different approaches, and a discrepancy of up to 52% is found between results from the various guidance documents.

Three-dimensional earth-contact heat flows: A comparison of simulated and measured data for a buried structure
M.H. Adjali,M. Davies,J. Littler +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address a specific part of the overall simulation process: that of earth-contact heat transfer which can be the cause of significant modelling errors, and compare simulation results with experimental data for a test room.

A numerical simulation of measured transient temperatures in the walls, floor and surrounding soil of a buried structure
M.H. Adjali,M. Davies,J. Littler +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a numerical simulation of measured heat transfer through a region surrounding a buried structure and assess the accuracy of the overall package when predicting earth-coupled heat transfer.
