Course description:  The recent shift to electrification and better performing homes has resulted in increased popularity of air source heat pumps. As the industry shifts, design professionals, installers and homeowners need to understand the basic principles behind this technology to effectively provide adequate heating, cooling, and dehumidification in their projects.

This session will provide an overview of Air Source Heat Pumps, which are a fast-growing portion of the residential HVAC market. Today’s ducted heat pumps and “mini split” systems can provide very efficient heating and cooling, but only if they are well designed, installed, and operated. Hear about how proper sizing, installation and operation can affect the indoor air quality along with the occupants’ health and wellbeing.

Learning Objectives:

• Energy Code and Critical Control Layers • The building science behind drying potential and how ASHP are an integral component in the future of the construction industry
• Air Source Heat Pump principles • The mechanisms behind how they work • The various types of ASHP – Ductless: wall mounted or hidden, Ducted, Heat pump water heaters, and Heat pump dryers • Installation best practice • Myths and pitfalls to avoid
• System Design • The importance of load calculations and duct design • Design principles of Manual J, Manual S, and Manual D
• Mechanical ventilation • Heating, cooling and ventilation as a system, exhaust only ventilation and balanced ventilation
