<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>You can go to the circulation
loop attached to the GHEX and create an artificial boiler load under the
“Process/DHW Loads” tab. You’ll have to account
for your fuel consumption separately but you’ll at least be able to see
how the artificial boiler loads impact the ground loop temperature. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I’m trying to simulate the energy consequences of
adding a boiler to the ground loop for a cold climate, but eQuest does not
allow this application. Are there any ideas on how to fake it?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We’re effectively trying to warm the ground because
