Functionalities of GHEtool

GHEtool has a couple of different functionalities, all centered around borefield sizing. In the examples listed below, one can find example code on how to use the different functionalities.

Sizing the borefield (i.e. calculating the required depth) for a given injection and extraction load for the borefield (three sizing methods are available).

• Main functionalities of GHEtool

Using dynamically calculated borehole thermal resistance (this is directly based on the code of pygfunction).

• Sizing with equivalent borehole resistance calculation

Optimising the load profile for a given heating and cooling load.

• Optimise load profile

Importing heating and cooling loads from .csv files.

• Import data

Using your custom borefield configurations.
