GLD Used by MEP Associates to design loop system at Ball State University (USA)
GLD was recently used to design Ball State's 4000 bore geothermal system. This system will be used to heat and cool at least 45 buildings on campus. Utilizing district energy systems pumping a hot and cold water loop, this project has ensured its place among the most intriguing and elite systems ever conceived.
"This project is more than baby steps. We're taking a giant leap here."
-James W. Lowe, PE, Director of engineering and operations at Ball State
The versatility of GLD allows for us to maximize loop field performance. "Utilizing the double loop reduced the overall lineal footage 15 percent"

"The software integrates directly with our load calculation software. The program is capable of modeling different parameters quickly and effectively in order to increase productivity with minimizing design errors associated with repetitive data entry. Recently we used GLD to design a new 80,000-sf LEED-certified Gold (pending) Elementary School for Poquoson, located in the Tidewater Region of Virginia. The HVAC system will have over 60 geothermal heat pumps and 144 vertical wells. System design incorporated GLD to maximize energy efficiency while minimizing excess materials, saving fossil fuels and long-term operating costs for the community.”

“I was told that GLD was the best design software tool during my CGD training 3 years ago. Now I am the sole WaterFurnace dealer in Greece and it’s my daily tool. I’ve used it on residential projects as well as studies for big commercial projects including hotels and hospitals.”
- Christos Bousgolitis, Mechanical & Civil Engineer, Greece
Geothermal International Limited (UK)
”GLD is an excellent package with just the right balance of flexibility, robustness, speed and accuracy. Our market-leading business is based in part on the package and the small team who use it. The speed with which a design can be carried out allows us to do a full design for every new enquiry ensuring that everything we do is based on sound engineering from day one. In this way, many mega watts of system designs are carried out by our team each week. I’ve attached some case studies.”

Beijing Geologic Survey Institute (China)
The Beijing Olympic Forest Park consists of 21 office buildings spread out over an area three times as large as New York's Central Park.Over 55000 square meters of office space is going to be heated and cooled with a ground source heat pump system designed by GLD. The system consists of approximately 1500 vertical boreholes.
