NEW Online Training
By popular demand, specialized, in-depth training is now available for designers utilizing the industry-leading GLD software platform. These professional level courses are intended for serious designers that want to leverage their knowledge and tools for a more successful geothermal design experience. GHX Loads, Loopfields and Piping Design
- Web Workshop Series
Thermal Dynamics, in conjunction with the Geothermal Training Institute, is currently offering a new web workshop entitled, "GHX Loads, Loopfields and Piping Design." The objective of this series is to provide the geothermal designer with a working knowledge of the steps in the process of designing and optimizing the geothermal system. Examine the critical phases of the design, beginning with the building design and modeling loads. Learn how to configure the design of the loopfield and piping. Correctly match the heat pump with the building and loopfield to develop a complete system. The course will take the student through the critical design steps that are needed to accurately design a geothermal system. Utilizing the industry leading Ground Loop Design (GLD) 2010 Software Suite, this series will go from start to finish in the preparation of realistic designs for different situations, including a full session dedicated to presentation of example designs from the instructor as well as looking at some actual system designs from the course participants. Two-way interaction with an expert instructor provides the geothermal professional with the tools he or she needs to design and optimize GSHP systems.
Each session runs approximately three (3) hours
Below is the syllabus for the web workshop training:
- Unit 1: Building Energy System Simulation
- Unit 2: Loopfield System Designer
- Unit 3: Piping Optimization
- Unit 4: Exercise Lab w/ Student Data and Review
