[Equest-users] Modeling Water to Water Heat Pumps

[Bruce Easterbrook]

http://canmetenergy-canmetenergie.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/eng/software_tools.html
Here is a list of software available from NRC in Canada.  EE4 is similar 
to eQuest but not as nice a front end on it, same DOE2 engine.  The 4th 
column has GS2000 which will size ground energy systems.  All software 
is free to use.
