ENGINEERED FROM THE GROUND UP
Verdant Labworks builds practical software for geothermal teams—helping installers, engineers, and developers make clearer early-stage decisions and deliver projects with greater confidence.
Our tools turn complex, real-world project conditions into a more repeatable path from site opportunity to installed ground-source system.
The best software is built close to the work
Geothermal projects are shaped by more than calculations. Ground conditions, site access, equipment constraints, installation sequencing, construction schedules, utility economics, and customer expectations all affect whether a project is viable and how it gets built.
Software can make that complexity more manageable—but only when it reflects how projects actually move from concept to completion.
Our team brings hard-won experience from commercial geothermal work and high-volume residential deployment into the platform. We have seen firsthand where projects slow down, where uncertainty enters the process, and where better information can change a decision early enough to matter.
That experience informs what we build. It does not limit who we build it with.
Practical expertise, openly applied
We build for the people responsible for real project outcomes:
Installers
Working with site conditions, field logistics, and construction schedules.
Engineers
Balancing system performance, constructability, risk, and cost.
Developers & homebuilders
Seeking more predictable project delivery.
Drilling contractors
Coordinating subsurface work with the broader construction process.
Project owners
Evaluating feasibility, economics, comfort, and long-term value.
Our role is not to replace field knowledge or engineering judgment. It is to give experienced teams better tools to apply both more consistently and at greater scale.
Verdant helps teams focus on the questions that determine whether geothermal can move forward:
- Is this site a good candidate for geothermal?
- What information is needed before committing engineering time and capital?
- How can teams compare options before design decisions become expensive to change?
- Where can workflows be standardized without losing necessary engineering judgment?
- How can installation, design, and development teams work from a clearer shared understanding of the project?
Expertise is a starting point
Experience is essential. It is not the same as having every answer.
Geothermal systems are installed across different soils, climates, markets, regulatory environments, building types, and construction contexts. Every contractor, engineer, drilling partner, developer, manufacturer, utility, and owner brings perspectives that can make the work better.
Verdant Labworks is built to collaborate with the industry—not dictate to it. We listen closely to the people responsible for project outcomes, test our assumptions in real workflows, and evolve the platform as we learn.
We have strong convictions about what geothermal needs to scale: better early-stage decisions, clearer workflows, practical standardization, and software that respects the complexity of the work.
OUR PURPOSE
We are building the practical software infrastructure geothermal needs to grow. That means translating complex, real-world project conditions into clearer decisions; making valuable expertise easier to apply; and helping more teams deliver high-quality ground-source systems with confidence.
Deep geothermal experience. Better tools. Built together.
Built by practitioners
Verdant Labworks is led by engineers and product builders who have worked across geothermal design, field operations, residential deployment, and the software systems behind more repeatable project delivery.
Our work combines technical depth with a practical respect for the people who make geothermal happen—from first site conversation through commissioning.
Ryan Carda has worked in the geothermal heat pump industry since 2004, with experience spanning mechanical engineering, business operations, software, and product strategy. He has helped shape the engineering logic behind LoopLink RLC and LoopLink PRO, translating thermodynamic principles into practical design tools. His work has also included contributions to IGSHPA standards and industry leadership.
Doug is a mechanical engineer with a fine art degree who has spent his career approaching problems differently. He has developed software for geothermal design, digital training, and real-time monitoring systems, and at Verdant he is focused on building software tools for FORB geothermal design.
