HyGCHP Modeling Tool
HyGCHP is a free TRNSYS-based software module that models and compares conventional and hybrid ground-coupled heat pump (geothermal) system configurations for energy and economic performance on building projects.
Why it stands out
It fills a gap in geothermal analysis tools by offering validated, sub-hourly hybrid ground-loop simulation with equipment sizing and control-strategy comparisons at no cost, backed by DOE-funded field research.
