The system is designed to provide heating and cooling loads of 7.39, 7.27 KW respectively. The designed system consists of a ground buried heat exchanger (1.5m depth, 6.5m length, and 2.2cm diameter), indoor heat exchanger, and a 2 HP compressor. The system has been analyzed economically and it was found that the ground coupled heat pump system reduces energy consumption and has a payback period for of 1.5 years. %U https://www.journal-aprie.com/article_54721_90ceb69b38b4248bf5c85f729170a5b9.pdf
