Does EP automatically calculate Number and spacing of Horizontal Ground heat exhchanger trenches?
Hello, I'm studying about horizontal ground exchanger.
I used 'GroundHeatExchanger:HorizontalTrench', can decision numbers of trenches, and space between of them.
I tried to use capillary tube for ground heat exchanger, but it's simulation time take so long time.(about 6 hours)
Then I found another method that 'PipingSystem:Underground' have more detailed inputs than 'GroundHeatExchanger:HorizontalTrench', it function as horizontal trenches.
Even after reading the engineering reference and input output reference, I don't know how to set it up
Could you tell me which parts?

@eoinfwepi based on object names you're using EnergyPlus, but are you using an EnergyPlus interface (OpenStudio, DesignBuilder, etc.)?
@Aaron Boranian I use original EnergyPlus(IDF editor)
