GeoAnalyst

GeoAnalyst is the most comprehensive residential design and application software for geothermal systems on the market today. No other software has as many features. Even more important, the loop sizing portion uses "pure" IGSHPA algorithms, not manufacturer-adjusted loop sizing formulas. The ease of use and user configurability provide users with an accurate system analysis at a low annual maintenance fee, which includes free updates.

GeoAnalyst is continually updated with new features. Pressure drop calculation/pump sizing was recently added, as was a new sales proposal module. Changes in equipment, enhanced features, and usability upgrades are automatically loaded with the "automatic updates" feature.
