Embodiments of the present invention allow designers of geothermal heat exchange systems to closely tailor their system designs to the cooling and/or heating demands of the buildings for which their systems are being designed. Systems and methods are discussed herein for gathering information empirically about a ground heat exchanger's performance in a particular physical environment, which facilitates more accurate and efficient design of geothermal heat exchange systems. Such information can be gathered empirically from a design module connected to a ground heat exchanger in a physical environment. The design module can circulate liquid through the ground heat exchanger and conduct a variety of tests to determine characteristics of the ground heat exchanger and the physical environment. |
