Why Design Matters

Diverso considers geoexchange systems dynamic, living entities. Borefields—the thermal batteries beneath the building—must be meticulously designed with a keen understanding of building mechanical systems and the relative balance of heating and cooling loads over decades of operation. A poorly designed borefield can lead to inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and even system failure.

At Diverso Energy, each design is based on real-life data supported by predictive modeling.

Our in-house engineering team utilizes more than 15 years of operational data from dozens of real, occupied buildings. This proprietary database allows us to go beyond basic predictive energy models to anticipate how a system will perform under varying conditions, from seasonal weather patterns to shifts in occupancy. Standard industry software relies on theoretical assumptions input by the user. Diverso’s data-driven approach leverages real-world performance and our team’s expertise to make estimates much more reliable.

Collaboration: The key to success

Diverso collaborates with the whole design team to seamlessly integrate geoexchange into building designs. Early involvement is critical. By engaging all stakeholders, we ensure the system’s requirements align with architectural vision, mechanical design, and budget constraints. We work closely with construction managers to ensure the system seamlessly integrated into the construction schedule minimizing any impact to the critical path.

From implementation to optimization

Our work doesn’t end once a system is installed. Commissioning is just the beginning. We monitor the system’s performance over months and years, comparing our real-world data to original projections. This ongoing oversight allows us to fine-tune the connected systems, ensuring the building meets and exceeds enduring performance benchmarks.

It’s a 30-year commitment.

You need a partner with a tried-and-tested process—we call it the Diverso Method:

#1 icon

Opportunity Recognition

  • Evaluate project economics, including building size, type and drilling conditions.
  • Consider immediate and long-term benefits for all stakeholders.
#2 icon

Partnership Agreement

  • Diverso provides a financial pro forma, which quantifies the upfront. economic benefit during construction and long-term operational benefit to the owner and occupants.
  • Client signs a letter of intent, allowing us to move forward and engage with project consultants.
#3 icon

System Design

  • A geothermal borefield is designed, based on a comprehensive hourly energy model.
  • Diverso collaborates with your design team to seamlessly integrate the geothermal system into “business as usual” building systems and design.
#4 icon

Construction

  • Drill and install borefield from the surface, before shoring and excavation.
  • After excavation, return to install lateral connections below the slab.
  • Carry out mechanical installation, connections, and commissioning of the system.
  • Collaborate with your project management team throughout the project to minimize scheduling impacts.
Diverso Energy GEO 909 GT Rig

Meet the GEO 909GT

One of many rigs in Diverso’s drilling arsenal. With its compact design and ability to drill in tight urban spaces, this rig is more than a machine – it’s a game-changer.

The 909GT features a complete rod handling system that includes casing, minimizing the operating footprint and maximizing production speeds. Best of all – there is no compromise in power or operating capabilities. With the 909GT, we can effortlessly handle all geological conditions, including deep overburden.
