Este estudio presenta una revisión sistemática y análisis bibliométrico de los intercambiadores de calor tierra-aire para evaluar su rendimiento energético y confort térmico residencial. Mediante el protocolo Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses en la base de datos Scopus, se mapeó la literatura científica de 1980 a 2025. Los resultados confirman la efectividad térmica de la ventilación geotérmica pasiva en múltiples climas, demostrando altos coeficientes de rendimiento y un ahorro energético significativo en comparación con los sistemas convencionales. Se analizan los parámetros de diseño, la evolución histórica y tendencias futuras como hibridación y control inteligente. Se concluye que la tecnología es una alternativa viable de enfriamiento de bajo carbono.Descargas
