Hi-

We modeled a building with GSHP in a hot climate (zone 1), so it is almost used
for cooling only. The air-side is PVAVS. water-cooled condenser with GSWL. The
cooling COP input is ~5. However, the system performs almost the same as
ordinary air-cooled chillers.

We think the reason may be the high earth temperature (~85 F is used due to the
local
climate).

GSHP does not appear to be a solution for hot climate? Any one has some resource
of real data for this?

Thanks,
Ying
