Among the various factors that interfere with the thermal performance of buildings, soil temperature is not always considered in thermal evaluations. However, soil temperature influences the result of heat exchanges, especially in ground-level buildings. This study analyzes this influence using the EnergyPlus software. Results suggest that the internal temperature of subterranean rooms can increase up to 8.9% in the summer and decrease up to 5.4% in winter when soil effect is considered in the analysis.
