This course prepares learners to access the ASHRAE guide: Decarbonizing Building Thermal Systems: A Guide for Applying Heat Pumps and Beyond. The guide provides an in-depth exploration of decarbonizing building thermal systems with a primary focus on heat pump technology. Participants will gain a solid understanding of heat pump systems, their applications, and the critical considerations involved in their design and implementation. Through detailed sections, this course explains how electric heat pumps reduce carbon emissions, outlines steps for selecting the right system, describes common configurations for commercial buildings, prepares for retrofitting, and lists installation best practices for efficient operation.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
-
Explain how efficient electric heat pumps support building decarbonization. Evaluate the carbon intensity of the grid to inform demand management strategies.
-
List the primary steps to selecting a heat pump. (or evaluate building heating and cooling loads to select appropriately sized heat pump systems)
- Describe common heat pump configurations and considerations for commercial buildings.
- Identify ways to prepare for retrofit applications.
- List key installation best practices to pave the pathway for successful heat pump operation
This course can be subscribed to independently.
