Welcome to GHEtool’s documentation!
Dear visitor
Welcome on this ReadTheDocs for the open-source borefield sizing tool GHEtool.
Here one can find (extensive) documentation of GHEtool codebase. Please find below the content of this ReadTheDocs.
Graphical user interface
There are two graphical user interfaces available which are built using GHEtool: GHEtool Cloud and GHEtool Community
GHEtool Cloud
GHEtool Cloud is the official and supported version of GHEtool which supports drilling companies, engineering firms, architects, government organizations in their geothermal design process. With GHEtool Cloud they can minimize the environmental and societal impact while maximizing the cost-effective utilization of geothermal projects. Visit our website at https://ghetool.eu to learn more about GHEtool Cloud and what it can do for you.
You can find the documentation for GHEtool Cloud here.
