Optimization of GSHP and GHX is a wide research area and many optimization models are proposed [6-29]. Some are focused on control and operational strategy of GSHP system [6-7‚ 9-10‚ 12-13 16]. Gao et al. [18] optimized the control strategy of an air-conditioning integrated GSHP system and obtained the reductions of energy consumption in summer. Gang et al. [19] proposed suitable operating strategies to control a hybrid energy system consisted of GSHP and a cooling tower. An artificial neural network
