The horizontal earth-to-air heat exchanger (HEAHES) thermal performance is excellent on cooling and heating season in hot arid regions was reported. But the HEAHES thermal performance results is difficult to find on intermediate season. This paper was performed full scaled experiment to investigate HEAHES thermal performance on intermediate season (Oct. 10th ~ 12th Nov. 12th). When the air entering to HEAHES is the lowest $2.3^{\circ}C$, outlet air temperature from HEAHES is $15.95^{\circ}C$ through PVC pipe that buried length 60m and depth 3m. When the air entering to HEAHES is the highest $24.8^{\circ}C$, outlet air temperature from HEAHES is $22.05^{\circ}C$. During intermediate season, the HEAHES COP is 2.71 in daytime and 6.53 in evening.
