MODERN GEOTHERMAL LOOP SIZING
Precision design tools built to help your business scale.
The industry is full of legacy spreadsheets and clunky clones. We aren't building FORB to simply blend in; we are building the modern standard for geothermal loop sizing and modeling—an objective foundation for a sector ready to scale. From global OEMs and MEP firms to national builders, we provide the rigor required to turn design goals into successful, verifiable outcomes.
Engineering Fidelity
Geothermal projects carry long commissioning cycles and longer performance expectations. The engineering record that justifies a design decision today must still be legible — and verifiable — years from now. FORB is built with that requirement as a first-order constraint.
Project snapshots preserve the engineering decisions made at the time of processing. Platform evolution, catalog updates, and schema changes do not alter historical records. The engineering record is persisted with the project state.
Snapshot Architecture
Current project states (Draft vs. Active) are stored as monolithic snapshots. Every successful processing run upserts a complete inputs and outputs record, ensuring a high-fidelity recovery point.
Project State Retrieval
Retrieve the exact engineering record for a specific project status. No reconstruction from partial changes — the snapshot contains the full configuration and GHX results as they existed at the point of processing.
Closed Project Stability
Schema versions and equipment catalog snapshots ensure that changes to the live platform cannot corrupt historical records. Engineering decisions are preserved exactly as they were validated.
Status Comparison
The delta between project states—such as the transition from a Draft design to an Active commission—is calculable. This provides a clear audit chain for third-party reviewers and financiers.
Schema Versioning
Snapshots carry their specific schema version. Legacy records remain readable and auditable regardless of how the underlying data model has evolved, preventing silent data corruption.
Portfolio Visibility
Aggregated snapshot data enables cross-project reporting and performance comparison across your entire portfolio, built directly from high-fidelity engineering records.
