The size of gas line needed to supply heat to a conventional heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system can be selected from a chart. Likewise, a cooling tower or air cooled condenser can be selected from a supplier's catalog by referencing the peak dry and wet bulb temperatures. The selections are typically based on a peak heat loss / heat gain calculation for the project. If the selections can meet the peak heating and cooling loads, they will meet smaller heating and cooling loads the rest of the year...as long as someone pays the bills!
There isn't a catalog from which a ground heat exchanger (GHX) for a ground coupled heat pump (GCHP) system can be selected. The size and configuration of the GHX depends on the design and use of the building, design of the mechanical system and the land area available and geology of the site.
The goal of GEOptimize is to work with you and your design team to minimize the size and cost of the GHX and ensure the long term, efficient operation of the system.
