Thermal imbalance of the ground

Hi, I'm simulating a ground source heat pump coupled with vertical borehole heat exchangers, for heating and cooling an office building. During cooling season it rejects to the ground more heat than what it absorbs during heating season, so I'd need to analyse the increase of ground temperature. Is there a way to simulate the effect of thermal imbalance of the ground with OpenStudio, EnergyPlus or other software? Thanks.
