Pump size: adding to existing ground source heat pump well field

Pump size: adding to existing ground source heat pump well field

Pump size: adding to existing ground source heat pump well field

(OP)
I am working on a school with an existing ground source heat pump system.  They are adding another small building.  The existing well field is large enough to handle the added load.  I have not done much with hydronics.  How do I size the pump for the new building?  Do I need to consider the head loss through the existing system?  Thanks!

RE: Pump size: adding to existing ground source heat pump well field

Need to see the configuration of the piping networks before we'd know the answer to that one.
