I found an archived message from Aug 2012
that is closely related to a simulation I'm working on:

Dear Aigerim,
You will almost surely need to have
access to the TESS GHP Library in
order to carry out your study. If you do
and if you are using Trnsys17,
then look at the GHP example that is in the
..\Trnsys17\TESS
Models\Examples\GHP Library\. It uses
water-to-water heat pumps instead
of the more common water-source heat pumps
but it will give you a good
idea of how to set up the ground loop. The
water-source heat pump then
gets connected to a ventilation type within
Type56.
If you are using Trnsys16 then loop at
the GHP example that is in
..\Trnsys16\Tess Models\Studio
Projects\Geothermal Heat Pump Library\.
This is an example of a water-source heat
pump that is connected to a
steady stream of constant condition air.
The air is cooled based only on
an on/off timer. The timer would be
replaced by a thermostat model and
the constant condition inlet air would be
replaced by a connection from
the building.
Kind regards,
David

Can this model further be used for reading
building loads (externally generated) into the heat pump
type? I'm using HyGCHP
for comparing different hybrid
configurations, but want to examine different pumping
configurations as well and looking at this
example file as a starting point for that
comparison.
