This course is for existing industry professionals or anyone new to heat pumps (HP) and interested in knowing how heat pump systems operate, save energy, and reduce fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. 

Heat pumps now play a significant role in our federal, state, and local government’s plans as part of a world-wide strategy for decarbonization. This course provides a comprehensive overview of traditional constant volume and variable volume HVAC systems alongside modern heat pump (HP) technologies for both commercial and residential applications. Participants will gain a clear understanding of system types, operations, and key differences between air, water, and refrigerant-based HVAC systems, as well as air source, ground source, and water source heat pump systems.

The course explores critical factors in selecting the most appropriate heat pump system for a building, including performance, application, and environmental considerations. Attendees will also examine upfront and operating costs, along with the advantages and limitations of both conventional HVAC and heat pump systems.

Course objectives:

• About traditional constant volume and variable volume HVAC systems.
• The types and operation of commercial and residential heat pump systems.
• What factors should be considered to determine the best heat pump systems for your building.
• The upfront cost and operating cost for HVAC systems and HP systems.
• Positives and negatives of HP and HVAC systems.

Topics: 

• Definitions, abbreviations, and acronyms
• HVAC - variable air, water, and refrigerant systems
• Energy efficiency opportunities to enhance HP and HVAC heating and cooling systems
• Heating only heat pumps and reversible heating and cooling heat pumps
• Air source heat pump systems
• Ground source heat pump systems
• Water source heat pump systems
• Waste heat or wastewater from industrial or commercial processes
• Government and other incentives to install HP systems
• HP and HVAC math and calculations

Who should attend: 
Building owners, representatives and operators, facility managers, O&M professionals, energy managers, energy services companies, and utilities representatives, Building Operators, HVAC professionals.
