Imagine the uncertainty in a geothermal HVAC system designed without essential building details like occupancy schedules, internal gains, and distribution requirements. Why should the loopfield design process be any different?

GRTI's Formation Thermal Conductivity (FTC) testing provides unparalleled insight to the thermal conductivity at your site for your commercial loopfield designs. We designed our industry-leading test methods and cutting-edge FTC test units from independent ASHRAE-funded research, 75-plus combined years of team experience, and over 250,000 hours of testing data.

Your company's system designs, profits, and reputation are too important to rely on estimates. Don’t assume: know your ground properties with GRTI’s FTC testing for your commercial installs today.

• Incomplete and incorrect data drive up design process time, and introduce error
• Oversized loopfields add cost with excessive drilling, grout, and pipe
• Undersized loopfields don’t deliver designed capacity, resulting in increased warranty and service work, uncomfortable customers, and even lawsuits
• Both scenarios can damage your reputation and the reputation of geothermal heating and cooling as a reliable, cost-effective HVAC solution

We review the details of your request and create a quote specific to your needs. If needed, we assist in sourcing a local contractor to install the test bore.
