We have performed numerous geothermal heat pump simulations using TRNSYS 
and have written and/or obtained many of the components required to 
properly simulate these systems.  We have packaged these components into a 
geothermal heat pump library add-on for TRNSYS.  The package may be ordered 
from any TRNSYS distributor and order forms and a detailed description of 
the library may be found at www.TRNSYS.com - follow the ordering 
information link.  If you are interested, I can also send you as detailed 
report on our simulation and calibration work for Ft.Polk Military Base; 
currently the largest GHP project in the world.

Our HVAC library add-on for TRNSYS has models for the simulation of 
packaged air-conditioning units - as well as numerous other heating and 
cooling technologies.  Follow the same link as for the GHP library.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
