Exercise on working with irregular borefield configurations
With buildings becoming increasingly complex and versatile, our borefield designs are also moving away from the traditional rectangular configuration. In this article, we explore the importance of using the actual coordinates of the boreholes when dealing with irregular borehole configurations, as well as the significance of the buried depth.

Single or double U-tube? Part 3: Practical aspects and special probes
In this article, we will give the final perspective on the single or double U-tube debate, namely the practical aspects. Besides that, we will revisit the thermal and hydraulic aspects, but now look at some innovative probes such as the Separatus, TurboCollector, and GEROtherm VARIO and FLUX.

Single or double U-tube? Part 2: Hydraulic aspects
The debate between the single and double U-tube has many different viewpoints. Last time, we discussed this question from a thermal perspective, and in this week’s article, we will focus on the hydraulic side of things: the pressure drop.
- Fysica, FAQ
Single or double U-tube? Part 1: Thermal aspects
One of the central questions in borefield design is: "Which is better, a single or a double U-tube?" In this article, we will begin to unravel this mystery once and for all by looking at the thermal side of the story.
- Exercise
Exercise on designing a collective borefield for an apartment building
When designing collective borefields for apartment buildings, the process is more complicated than simply multiplying the design for a single apartment by the number of units. In this exercise, we will explain how to approach the design of collective borefields and the role that the simultaneity factor plays.

Hourly domestic hot water profiles
With buildings becoming increasingly well insulated, domestic hot water demand is becoming more important when designing geothermal borefields. In this article we introduce the new option in GHEtool Cloud to work with hourly domestic hot water profiles.

Modelling the FLUX and VARIO probe
As of today, the GEROtherm® FLUX and VARIO probes are available in GHEtool Cloud. In this article, we will shed light on the mathematical model behind these conical probes and explain how it affects their hydraulic and thermal behaviour.

Bereken de thermische interferentie met GHEtool Cloud
Typisch gezien ga je bij het ontwerpen van boorvelden ervan uit dat je project geïsoleerd is en dat de bodemtemperatuur niet wordt beïnvloed door naburige systemen. In sommige gevallen kan dit correct zijn, maar in andere kan de zogenaamde thermische interferentie tussen verschillende geothermische systemen aanzienlijk zijn. In dit artikel bespreken we het onderwerp thermische interferentie en laten we zien hoe GHEtool Cloud kan worden gebruikt om dit te berekenen.

Create hourly load profiles in seconds
All advanced methods in GHEtool require an hourly load profile, which is typically not available in the early design stages. However, it is precisely in this early design and feasibility phase that concepts are decided upon and that a deeper knowledge of the geothermal potential is useful. Today we solved this by letting you create an hourly demand profile in seconds!
- Tutorial
Analyse TRTs with GHEtool Cloud
In situ measurements, such as with a thermal response test (or TRT for short), are an essential part of geothermal borefield design. In today's article, we introduce a new feature to analyse these TRTs directly within GHEtool Cloud, streamlining your design process and making it easier than ever to design borefields with confidence.

Getting started with GHEtool (Summer 2025)
In this article we give a quick overview of all the functionalities of GHEtool Cloud as they are available in August 2025. The goal is to show what the possibilities are, how you can get started and where you can find more information related to specific methods.

Automated reporting with GHEtool (Summer 2025)
Reporting is becoming increasingly important for both drilling companies handling numerous smaller projects and engineering firms managing a few larger projects with multiple design variations. Therefore, automated reporting has always been a key feature in GHEtool Cloud, and thanks to the feedback from our community, we were able to make it even better for you! In this article, we discuss our renewed reporting functionality, making it easier than ever to create professional reports in seconds!
- Tutorial
Better insights with hourly data
We have already used hourly data implicitly in some other articles on hybrid design and active and passive cooling, but we have never really discussed the benefits compared to monthly load simulations. In this article, we discuss the insights you can gain when working with hourly load data.
- Exercise
Exercise on designing a borefield for a single building
In this exercise, we will investigate how you can design a borefield for a single-family building. The goal is to learn the difference between designing for the heating or cooling demand and to see the difference in required borehole length when working with either active or passive cooling.

Why should I install a ground source heat pump?
Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular, but when it comes to choosing between a ground source heat pump and an air source heat pump, there is quite a lot of confusion. In this article, we will highlight the advantages of opting for a ground source heat pump and will address some of the common misconceptions.
- Hybrid systems, Tutorial
Simulating hybrid systems with GHEtool
Up until now, GHEtool offered the possibility to optimise hybrid systems, but today we are introducing a whole new simulation module. With both simulation and optimisation now available, you have the complete toolbox at your disposal to design better, more efficient hybrid geothermal systems.

Modelling the turbocollector
As of today, the Turbocollector from Muovitech is available in GHEtool Cloud. In this article, we will shed light on the mathematical model behind the Turbocollector and explore the concept of turbulence more generally, based on a recent paper by Niklas Hidman.
- Tutorial
Estimating the building demand
One of the key input parameters for any geothermal simulation is the building demand for heating and cooling. Sometimes, these values are known based on detailed simulations or measurements, but more often—particularly in the early stages—they need to be estimated. This article sheds some light on the topic and explores several approaches to addressing this challenge.
- Exercise
Exercise on sensitivities in borefield design
In this exercise, we will investigate the design of a geothermal borefield for an office building. The aim is to gain insight into the effects of the geothermal temperature gradient and to understand which parameters are particularly important when designing a borefield for a building with a high cooling demand.
- Algemeen, Tutorial
Simultaneity factor
The simultaneity factor is an important element in the design of collective borefields for multiple users. Think, for example, of apartment buildings with dozens of apartments connected to a central borefield. Should you take the entire installed peak power into account or not? Read the article to discover everything you need to know!

Enkele reviews van onze gebruikers
The GHEtool is incredibly fast and easy to use. Its intuitive design allows for quick calculations and efficient workflow. At SEDS, we need accurate results without hassle and GHEtool delivers.
To correctly size geothermal boreholes, we at Studiebureel Kennis rely on GHEtool. A powerful sizing tool that contributes to sustainable and future-oriented energy solutions! This way, we can already take the necessary steps at an early stage regarding the number of boreholes, as well as prepare an accurate cost estimate for the end client.
GHEtool enables me, as the designer of large and complex projects, to perform highly detailed and accurate calculations for complex situations, such as hybrid systems and combined cooling (passive and active). This makes even the most complicated challenges manageable.
GHEtool enables easy, fast, and efficient simulations in which different scenarios can be clearly compared. This allows us, even with the limited information sometimes available, to simulate an accurate estimation from various perspectives.
GHEtool helps us efficiently calculate boreholes. It shows our clients in a very understandable way how important correct sizing really is. From a quick analysis to a more complex borehole field, GHEtool not only saves us time but also gives us confidence. This tool could be a gamechanger on the path toward collectively better-performing geothermal systems.
