Geothermal heat pump(GHP)system has been extensively disseminated due to the recent increasing demand over new and renewable energy. However, the economics and system reliability has been key issues and barriers to insure a better system performance as designed originally. The building integrated designs of geothermal heat pump system are test and optimize GHP system by evaluating its performance in virtual reality. System design is an iterative process that will help optimize the cost efficiency of the system. One of the primary goals is to minimize the energy imbalance between the amount of energy extracted from the ground and the energy reject to it. This will reduce the land area required to install the GHX, reduce the cost of installing it and ensure the long-term efficiency of the system. Commissioning is the process of ensuring that are designed, installed, functionally tested, and capable of being operated and maintained to performance in conformity with design intent. In this paper, Study on introduction of Initial commissioning method of Geothermal Heat Pump(GHP) system using ISO performance data has been introduced. Also KIER GHP Simulator is used to simulate actual heat pimp operating condition and test commissioning method. Result should that the experiment data base could verify the applicability of the commissioning method, and also were able to suggest a better ways to GHP commissioning.

This study investigates the thermal conductivity and density of expanded polystyrene insulation materials collected from buildings under going energy retrofit projects. Due to the absence of initial thermal conductivity data, determining precise long-term patterns was challenging. Analysis based on design documents revealed that expanded polystyrene insulation maintained consistent performance over ten years. Notably, the thermal conductivity measurements of insulation samples of the same grade and age varied significantly. Additionally, the insulation density was found to be substantially below the standard specified in the design documents. The results of the experiment indicate that performance management during both construction and operation phases is lacking. It is crucial to apply building commissioning, which involves performance verification throughout the building's life cycle, to properly evaluate building energy performance improvements, such as building energy retrofit projects.

We studied a Monte Carlo simulation of the proton beam delivery system at the National Cancer Center (NCC) using the Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit and tested its feasibility as a dose verification framework. The Monte Carlo technique for dose calculation methodology has been recognized as the most accurate way for understanding the dose distribution in given materials. In order to take advantage of this methodology for application to external-beam radiotherapy, a precise modeling of the nozzle elements along with the beam delivery path and correct initial beam characteristics are mandatory. Among three different treatment modes, double/single-scattering, uniform scanning and pencil beam scanning, we have modeled and simulated the double-scattering mode for the nozzle elements, including all components and varying the time and space with the Geant4.8.2 Monte Carlo code. We have obtained simulation data that showed an excellent correlation to the measured dose distributions at a specific treatment depth. We successfully set up the Monte Carlo simulation platform for the NCC proton therapy facility. It can be adapted to the precise dosimetry for therapeutic proton beam use at the NCC. Additional Monte Carlo work for the full proton beam energy range can be performed.
