This paper is performed to investigate of cooling effect and total enthalpy variation on EAHES(Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger System) that is buried 3m depth and 60m length. Using EAHES, the reduction of the sensible heat is obviously but latent heat is showed increased trend. Although the outdoor average latent heat accounts for 53.2% of total enthalpy, latent heat of the exit air from EAHES was raised as 58%. For improving cooling effect of EAHES, it has to considered that how to remove the latent heat from EAHES.

Geothermal energy can be used with a geothermal heat pump or an earth-to-air heat exchange system (EAHES), which is referred to as a "cooling tube" in Korea. In this study, we suggest EAHES burial guidelines in terms of the parameters of buried pipe length and air velocity regarding the exit air temperature of EAHES. The exit air temperature for EAHES in three regions (Changwon, Busan and Seoul) was calculated with variation in buried pipe length and air velocity at ${\Phi}100mm$ and ${\Phi}200mm$. In conclusion, variation in the buried pipe length is more effective than that of air velocity to achieve the required exit air temperature.
