Optimize for Efficiency

Optimize for First Cost

Optimize for lifetime performance

A GCHP system must be considered as system. The overall efficiency of the system is affected by many factors beyond the efficiency of the equipment selected. System efficiency is directly affected by many aspect of the design of the building, heating and cooling distribution system, other building systems, and the design of the mechanical system. 

Designing a GCHP system requires attention to many details. GEOptimize can work with you to ensure all the details are considered. 

Designing a mechanical system based on common rules of thumb and then using more rules of thumb to design a ground heat exchanger (GHX) may or may not end up with a system that works. It might cost a lot more than it should, and work less efficiently that it could, but often enough it will work...at least for a few years. 

Take the guess work out of a design and become confident in your GCHP system and GHX design. Having someone with over 3 decades of hard-earned experience review your design will reduce your risk and increase your comfort with a GCHP system. 

GCHP systems are energy storage systems. They can overheat and they can freeze up. How can you prevent that from happening to your design?

Understanding the design process needed for a GCHP system must take into account the fact that it is connected not to an infinite energy source, but rather to a storage system that can be depleted is critical. 

Understanding the process will ensure your design works predictably and will perform efficiently over the long term will help you gain confidence in this remarkable renewable technology.
