Hi,

I'm designing a GSHP (vertical loop) in an area with more seismic activity than I'm used to dealing with. Are there any special considerations I need to make, or any rubric that can help me with whether or not an area is suitable for a GSHP? I've searched the internet but came up dry. Thanks guys.
