Abstract
The simulation model was used to examine the annual performance evaluation for the vertical and horizontal GCHEs. The comparison of the year-round energy consumption values showed that the vertical GCHE has about 15% higher heating/cooling efficiency than the horizontal GCHE. The return period was six years in both the horizontal and vertical GCHEs for the short term, but the cost saving in the vertical GCHE was about 28% higher in the long term.
