Geothermal Systems that, “Work By Design, Not By Accident”

Webinar:  Geothermal Retrofits and Second Opinions - See GLD in Action

As more and more GSHP systems are installed, there has been an increase in inquiries regarding how to use GLD to analyze system performance and in some cases, to redesign a system that is not performing as expected.  The most recent version of GLD includes a toolset that simulates load management “on the fly,” which allows an engineer to more accurately analyze and anticipate things that can be done to get a system back on track.  There is a growing niche market for designers that can “rescue” an underperforming system or correct a design which was not specified correctly in the first place.

This topic has engendered a strong positive response from our customer base. As a result,  we have split the webinar into two sequential sessions to cover more information:

·         Session 1 Provides an overview of how to approach a failing Geo System

·         Session 2 (12/3) will focus on a specific system and show how GLD2014 can be used to analyze options to rescue the system

Session 1 – Overview    Date:  Already Occurred - View on-Line
Session 2 – Use GLD to redesign     Date:  Wednesday, December 3rd, 1:00 PM CST

Online Registration Required

(You are already registered if you signed up for the 11/19 session)

These webinars will be conducted by Terry Proffer, who has designed, consulted or installed thousands of tons of heat pump capacity throughout the continental U.S, Canada and Asia, and has trained over 500 contractors and engineers through IGSHPA and field training classes.
