Amongst the many challenges of building tight, energy-efficient homes is integrating and properly sizing HVAC and hot water equipment that balance the heating and cooling energy needs against dynamic indoor and outdoor thermal fluctuations. With the drive to limit energy losses through the building envelope, maintaining optimal indoor comfort and air quality requires more advanced integrated systems that provide true micro-zoning and low energy outputs. Join Robert for an intermediate/advanced presentation on combined hydronic HVAC and hot water systems using air-to-water heat pumps. This presentation will discuss the tools offered to builders of high-performance homes, such as micro-zoning, thermal energy storage, and advanced system optimization and management. During the session, you will gain insights from real-world installation data and experience a live equipment and system demonstration.
