Abstract

Earth is exposed to great danger and imminent as a result of irresponsible human activities that cause climate change and environmental pollution. The burning of huge quantities of fossil fuels to generate electricity resulted in the emission of greenhouse gases that caused climate change in addition to many environmental pollutants that harm people, animals, plants and even buildings. Several researchers have studied the possibility of reducing dependence on fossil fuels by using clean and green renewable energies. While others believed that reducing electricity consumption will reduce this dependence. Studies and reports of international organizations have shown that up to 45% of electricity is consumed in buildings for air conditioning and heating for comfort purposes.

In this review study, the research that studied how to reduce electricity consumption will be reviewed by adopting reducing the consumption of traditional air-conditioners by burying condensate in the ground. The study was distributed to review experimental and practical studies in this field. The results of the researchers show that Ground Coil Heat Exchanger systems increase and improve the performance of air conditioning systems as well as cause a decrease in the cost. Adopting such systems results in reducing the emission of pollutants emitted from fuel combustion. Such systems are suitable for use in Iraq, and it is preferable to use them in areas with lands that do not have fluctuations in its surface temperature.
