A Case Study: The Dock Midfield of Zurich Airport
This chapter presents a case study on the Dock Midfield of Zurich airport. Dock Midfield is the new Terminal E at Zürich airport. It is built on 440 foundation piles. A correct sizing for pile system is required to define the local geological, geotechnical and hydrogeological contexts. On the other hand, the thermal requirements of the building, both for heating and cooling, should be known in advance and with the best possible accuracy. From this point, different system variants can be assessed and compared, on the basis of the available foundation piles, their location, and their geometrical and thermal characteristics. The PILESIM program is based on the TRNSYS simulation program and TRNVDSTP, a non‐standard TRNSYS component devised for the simulation of ground heat storage using borehole heat exchangers or energy piles. PILESIM can be used in different degrees of detail, depending on the level of knowledge of the system parameters.
