As a renewable energy technology, ground source heat pump (GSHP) system is high efficient for heating and cooling in office buildings. However, this technology has strong dependence on the meteorological and building envelope thermal characteristic parameters. For the purpose of quantitative investigation on the feasibility and performance GSHP, three cities located in cold climate zone, Qiqihaer, Shenyang and Beijing, were sampled. Firstly, the office building dynamic loadings in these cities were calculated on basis of the different meteorological and envelope thermal characteristic parameters. The TRNSYS, one kind of energy simulation software, were employed to simulate the operation performances of GSHP on basis of these parameters. The simulation revealed the data on the outlet/inlet temperature of buried pipes, soil temperature, energy consumption distribution and the coefficient of performance (COP) for one year operation. Furthermore, ten years operation was also simulated to show the stability of the performance based on the outlet/inlet temperature of buried pipes and soil temperature. From these results, the GSHP had shown its most suitable performance in Beijing, second in Shenyang and worst in Qiqihaer. These results could be used as a reference on suitable utilization of GSHP systems in office buildings located in cold climate zone, China. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
