Optional extras
1. Training
With GHEtool Cloud, we have the mission to let you design with confidence. Therefore we write weekly articles on the design of borefields over at our knowledge base with accompanying videos and we’ve embedded hints for both the input and output fields in GHEtool Cloud. All for free! If you want a specific training, we offer the following packages.
Getting started - €250/once
If you are familiar with borefield design but new to GHEtool Cloud, we have created this crash-course ‘Getting Started’ package for you. In one hour, we will cover the various relevant features of the tool and work specifically on one of your projects in GHEtool Cloud. After our meeting, we offer a free 4-week support period for any remaining questions regarding the tool. This ensures you get the start you need.
In-company training - price on demand
Do you want to bring your entire team up-to-date with their geothermal knowledge? Then a tailor-made training program for your company might be of interest. Typically, this training lasts between 4 and 8 hours and includes a theoretical part that covers the thermal behavior of borefields and its relation to design challenges. In the second, more practical part, we will address specific case studies based on your unique projects.
2. Support
We want to be a reachable partner for you alongside the way, so you can always rest assured your designs are correct and optimized. So if you have questions related to the methods behind GHEtool or the interpretation of results, you can take a look at our knowledge base or choose one of our support packages below.
Project support - €75/month
If you want comprehensive support for the tool, the methods, and your projects, you can choose our project support package. This makes us your discussion partner for all your borefield-related questions. The package includes 10 hours of video consultancy per year. If additional support is needed, we can provide it on a pro-rata basis.
Custom support - price on demand
Whenever you have a specific question related to the methods behind GHEtool or the interpretation of specific results for a project, you can always contact us for pro rata support.
