Abstract
Approximately one-third of the primary energy resources are consumed in space heating, cooling, and air-conditioning with a very low
exergetic efficiency. The depleting nature of primary energy resources, negative environmental impact of fossil fuels and low exergetic
efficiencies obtained in conventional space heating and cooling are the main incentives for developing alternative heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioningŽ. HVAC techniques which can employ low density and interrupted energy sources. In this respect, in spite of difficulties
primarily encountered in coupling wind energy with conventional space heating and cooling equipment, wind energy seems to be an
exciting alternative provided that binations are pursued and applied. In this paper, a new wind turbine coupled hybrid HVAC
system is presented, which consists of an bination of convective and radiant heating and cooling systems with in-space
thermal energy storage. A design case for a single family home is presented. In this study a 6 kWŽ. e wind turbine drives a ground source
heat pumpŽ. GSHP which is coupled to a hybrid HVAC system to satisfy
