Le résumé fourni par la source

Energy piles, a type of geothermal heat exchanger integrated into building foundations, offer a sustainable solution for heating and cooling by utilizing the thermal properties of the ground. However, the design of energy piles involves complex interactions between thermal and mechanical behaviors. This paper addresses critical optimization issues, including pile geometry, ground heat exchanger tube configurations, concrete composition, and fluid dynamics. The study aims to enhance thermal efficiency by examining these design parameters and their impacts. Through a comprehensive review of recent parametric studies, the paper identifies critical factors influencing energy pile performance and provides insights and recommendations for improving their design and efficiency. The key findings highlight the crucial role of optimizing pile size, tube spacing, concrete thermal conductivity, and fluid properties in developing efficient and durable energy pile systems. Additionally, the proposed optimization approach is validated by reviewing recent simulations and experimental studies on energy piles, confirming the reliability of the recommendations.
