a research project (RP-1384) to simulate hybrid GSHP systems…The main
goal of the project is to establish general design guidelines for
sizing/controlling these systems (targeted at designers).  The project has been
completed; reports and publications should be released in the near future.  But
the model (built using the well-validated TRNSYS ground loop model) will also
be released in a distributable format that can be used by anyone, for design, system
optimization, research, etc.  The official version of this distributable program
would be available sometime after the report.</span></font></p>
