Abstract:
Earth is at great danger from likely to have been caused by clastic human activities of climate change and environmental pollution. In addition to burning huge quantities of fossil fuels to generate electricity, these greenhouse gases caused the burning due to the emission of greenhouse gases, creating climate change in addition to environmental pollutants that harm people, animals, plants, and even buildings. It turns out that several researchers have studied its possibility in using clean and green renewable energy to reduce the dependence on the use of fossil fuels. Some others thought that reducing electricity consumption would reduce this dependence. Unsatisfied with these reports, studies, and reports of international organizations have demonstrated that up to 45% of electricity is used in buildings for cooling and heating for comfort purposes. In this review study, reducing the consumption of traditional air conditioners through burying condensate in the ground will be reviewed as the number of studies regarding how to reduce electricity consumption. The study was submitted for checking experimental and practical studies in this field. As a result, researchers’ results indicate that Ground Coil Heat Exchanger systems can improve and enhance the operation of air conditioning systems and reduce the cost. When adopting such systems, the emission of pollutants formed because of fuel burning is reduced. They are such systems that can be used in Iraq, and they are better used where the temperature of land does not fluctuate.
