This paper describes the calibration and parameterization of a numerical model for conductive heat transfer from a group of geothermal energy piles into the soil surrounding the piles. Calibration was performed using Thermal Response Test (TRT) data collected from a group of full-scale in-situ geothermal energy piles in Colorado Springs, CO. The calibration of the three dimensional model incorpo
