I'm creating a conceptual model for a building utilizing a GSHP and am trying to find load on the ground source heat exchanger and total heating energy from the GSHPs. For the zone and ground source equipment I imported a BCL measure to create the loop and heat pumps. Trying to model the heat pump heating coil with a 4.0 COP but when looking heating coil energy over ground heat exchanger load the model is outputting essential a 2.0 COP for heating. Cooling COP performing much more efficiently than the rated 4.4 COP as well. I'm wondering if there's something up with the input ratio curve for the heat pumps? Here are the values for the "Energy input ratio as a function of Temperature" Curve:

Curve Biquadratic Coefficient1 Constant 0.99325699999999995 Coefficient2 x 0.020151200000000001 Coefficient3 x2 7.72375e-05 Coefficient4 y -0.031720699999999998 Coefficient5 y2 0.00074064900000000002 Coefficient6 x*y -0.000303875 Minimum Value of x 7 Maximum Value of x 27 Minimum Value of y 10 Maximum Value of y 30
