Earth-Air Heat Exchangers (EAHEs) provide a compelling solution for improving
building energy efficiency by harnessing the stable subterranean temperature to pre-treat
ventilation air. This comprehensive review delves into the foundational principles of EAHE
operation, meticulously examining heat and mass transfer phenomena at the ground-air
interface. This study meticulously investigates the impact of key factors, including soil
characteristics, climatic conditions, and crucial system design parameters, on overall system
performance. Beyond independent applications, this review explores the integration of EAHEs
with a diverse array of renewable energy technologies, such as air-source heat pumps,
photovoltaic thermal (PVT) panels, wind turbines, fogging systems, water spray channels,
solar chimneys, and photovoltaic systems. This exploration aims to clarify the potential of
hybrid systems in achieving enhanced energy efficiency, minimizing environmental impact,
and improving the overall robustness of the system.
