about customizing these files can be found in Chapter 7 of the User Manual. 8. GLD contains a searchable database of information about the program. Click on the Help dropdown menu and choose help. 9. GLD stores and models heat pump information in the Heat Pumps module. This can be accessed via the HeatPumps drop down menu found at the top of the program. GLD stores individual heat pump data in *.hpd files. If you enter data for a new heat pump, it will be saved in the Ground Loop Design ‘pumps’ directory. You can email these small *.hpd files to coworkers or other users of GLD. They can then put the file in their ‘pumps’ folder and begin using the pumps. More information can be found in the Preface and Chapter 2 of the User Manual. 10. Try designing in fixed length mode. First specify the number of boreholes and each borehole length and then calculate the entering water temperatures for the design. 11. If you need to design a non­rectangular loopfield, read Chapter 4 of the User Manual about how to import grid data files so that you can model other loopfield shapes. Concluding Remarks If you have questions about or suggestions for the program, please contact your distributor. Do you need a particular design feature that GLD does not currently offer? Let us know and we will do our best to include it in future versions. Thank you for choosing Ground Loop Design.
