Design Ground-Source Heat Pump Systems with GHE Analysis
GHE Analysis is a professional software package for the design and simulation of ground-source heat pump systems. Use it to size irregular borehole fields, compute g-functions and borehole thermal resistance, and simulate the hourly entering fluid temperature over a multi-year horizon. Based on over two decades of academic research at Polytechnique Montréal, GHE Analysis integrates a rigorous, fast simulation engine that lets you visualize energy consumption, peak power demand, and operating costs — all from a single workflow.
GHE Analysis — Software Interface
Interpret Thermal Response Tests with TRT Analysis
The design of any GSHP system starts with knowing the thermal conductivity of the ground. TRT Analysis interprets thermal response tests — including interrupted or variable-power tests — using both the infinite line source model and an artificial neural network trained on a transient 3D finite element model. It accounts for fluid, pipe, grout, and geological properties for maximum accuracy.

Let customers speak for us
No issues with installing the software.
I’ve been using GHE Analysis for my commercial projects and it works really well. It’s easy to set up and size borefields, run simulations, and the results are clear and reliable. Much simpler to use than other tools I’ve tried, but still very accurate. Definitely recommend it for anyone working with ground-source heat pumps.
This thermal response test interpretation software is the most easy, reliable and straight to the point ones I've tried in recent years.
This software allowed me to analyze a TRT that had gone wrong. Thanks to TRT Analysis, I didn't have to repeat the test at my expense and I was able to submit my report to my client on time.
