Dear Joke,
From my point of view, you can use type31b.
Energy equation solved in this type is suitable for both water and air. Be
careful while fixing soil temperature, type 77 is able to help you.

Canadien well/ air-to soil heat exchanger
I want to model a canadien well or also called air-to
soil heat exchanger in Trnsys with the purpose to know the energy demand of my
building and to made an economical analysis.
Is it correct that type31b or type 556 of the TESS
library may be only used for a water closed ground heat exchanger? And not when
you are working with air?
What type should I otherwise use for the modelling? I
also read something about type 460 of Transsolar?
Thanks in advance,
