A research program at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) studies ground coupling, the use of the earth as a heat source/sink or storage element for solar heat pump space conditioning systems. This paper outlines the analytical and experimental research to date toward the development of an experimentally validated model of ground coupling and based on experimental results from December, 1978 to September, 1979, expores sensitivity of present model predictions to variations in thermal conductivity and other factors. Ways in which the model can be further refined are discussed.
