Suitability evaluation of ground-source heat pump system applied to railway stations based on analytic hierarchy process

Establishes a comprehensive suitability evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) from the base condition (initial soil temperature) and systematic conditions (energy efficiency, economic and environmental benefits) of ground-source heat pump systems. Evaluates the suitability of ground-source heat pump systems applied to medium scale railway stations in different cities with the evaluation model and the comprehensive index method.
