A simple electrical simulation experiment is described which allows the thermal performance of underground structures such as cold‐storages or heating/cooling tunnels to be estimated in the laboratory on reduced scale models. For a sphere, the estimated heat loss is 82–85% of that predicted by an exact solution.
