Abstract: This paper describes the development of a simulation model using TRNSYS of a building integrated ground source heat pump with a cold phase change material thermal energy storage unit in a lightweight commercial building located in Marseille, France. The development of the overall system model involved the construction of individual models to simulate various components in the building, including a PCM tank, fan coil units, pumps, an air handling unit and the heat pump. The construction of each of the models is discussed, as well as validation and incorporation of each component into a system model.
