Summary
In this study, geothermal-based three different systems are examined comparatively and a decision-making method is used to find the best option to use in refugee settlements. Earth air heat exchanger (EAHE), vertical ground source heat pump (VGSHP), and horizontal ground source heat pump (HGSHP) are evaluated from the viewpoint of environmental impact, performance, economy, and health. This study is the first study related to the evaluation of EAHE and GSHP systems by using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). It is concluded that EAHE is the best option for refugee settlements; also EAHE is a healthier option for the COVID-19 pandemic.
