Residential and commercial buildings play a significant role in the energy consumption sector. Buildings account for approximately more than 30 percent of total energy consumption which proves that energy management in buildings should be prioritized. One of the energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions in energy management is utilizing thermal energy storage. The main benefit of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is to overcome mismatch between energy generation and energy use. This research is based on the concept of supplying multi-family houses space heating and cooling demands by implementing water-source heat pump which is connected into a buried sensible seasonal storage tank.
