This study presents a monitoring-based diagnostic investigation of a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system integrated with a water thermal storage tank in a large public building located in China. Based on one-year historical data, three typical-day measured cases were selected for in-depth analysis of the operating performance. Quantitative results for the typical year 2025 show that the system delivered 4.05 GWh of space heating capacity with an overall system efficiency (<ce:italic>EER</ce:italic><ce:inf loc=\"post\"><ce:italic>sys</ce:italic></ce:inf>) of 3.54 and 7.86 GWh of space cooling capacity with an <ce:italic>EER</ce:italic><ce:inf loc=\"post\"><ce:italic>sys</ce:italic></ce:inf> of 3.61. Then typical operation issues were identified across three different time scales. At the hourly scale, a measurable thermal transmission delay exists between buildings with different distances from the energy station, alongside persistent hydraulic imbalance characterized by low temperature difference and excessive flow rates. These issues are further exacerbated by inadequate control of heat pumps and circulation water pumps under part-load conditions, which collectively contribute to the poor energy efficiency. Then, on the daily scale, the mismatch between heat storage and release leads to unnecessary energy consumption. At the seasonal scale, the substantial imbalance between heat rejection and extraction capacity in the ground side leads to approximately 1°C rising in ground-side water temperature per year, which adversely affects long-term system performance. Therefore, a multi-timescale diagnostic framework is developed for identifying operational deficiencies in similar hybrid GSHP systems with thermal storage.","PeriodicalId":15064,"journal":{"name":"Journal of building engineering","volume":"28 1","pages":"117483"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
