GLD2014 Ready for Windows 10

Microsoft has released Windows 10 and GLD2014 is ready!  Beginning with build GLD2014 build 8.0.11, you can run on the latest and greatest OS from Microsoft.  We have already provided the new version of GLD to a couple of early adopters and the download version has now been updated.    

Please note:  Previous versions of GLD will NOT run on Windows 10 due to new security.  There are no plans to update previous versions but they will continue to run on their current platforms with no issues.

New Heat Pumps

We have added the Water Furnace Envision 2 Compact NK and NBK families to our heat pump library.   This is a free upgrade for users of GLD2014.  Are you interested in adding other pumps? Contact us.

GLD2014 Build 8.0.11 Now Available for Download

The latest build of GLD2014 contains updates for Windows 10, misc. changes and adds new heat pumps to the library.  This release also updates the TC module for users of the GeoCube and other test fixtures for measuring TC values.  Downloads are available here
