GeoDesigner 3.2

GeoDesigner is the most complete residential earth loop design energy analysis software available in the industry. Extends the system design and analysis capabilities of GeoDesigner to the leading edge of modern residential heating and cooling technology.
Main features:
- All geo models now available including outdoor splits and water-to-water
- Hot water generator performance updated to account for new heat exchangers now used in all R410a products.
- Expansion of air source efficiency choices
- Expansion of water heater options including standard and high-efficiency storage tank types, tankless, and solar
- GEO A can now model a wide range of hydronic applications, including tandem systems that couple a water-to-water unit for heating stage 1 and a water-to-air unit for cooling and stage 2 heating (typical floor warming installation). Optional use of the water-to-water for year-round hot water on demand is also incorporated.
