Abstract of the presentation: Air-source and water-source heat pumps are becoming essential tools in our efforts to electrify our world. The marketplace interest in transitioning away from fossil-fueled heating, cooling, and domestic hot water systems has never been higher and, in many cases, never been more cost-effective. This webinar will consider the applications of heat pump technology, especially in existing buildings with existing (or legacy) HVAC systems. A variety of examples will be discussed, along with the methods used to achieve project success.
List of topics to be covered:
- Identify the configuration of the existing or Legacy HVAC system and its limitations for conversion.
- Define parameters that must be met to achieve a successful retrofit.
- Prioritize the portions of the existing HVAC systems that should remain in operation.
- Methods for overcoming the most common challenges when retrofitting existing buildings.
- Various project phases that must be completed in sequence to achieve project success.

Abstract of the presentation: Air-source and water-source heat pumps are increasingly essential tools in our efforts to beneficially electrify our world. The marketplace interest in the transition away from fossil-fueled heating, cooling, and domestic hot water systems has never been higher and in many cases, has never been more cost-effective. This webinar will provide critical information for contractors as they consider which type of heat pump is best and how to make it work with legacy HVAC systems without overwhelming the electric grid. Mastering the application of heat pumps will contribute to successfully meeting new market demands.
List of topics to be covered:
- Differences between air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps, water-to-air heat pumps, and water-to-water heat pumps and the items to consider when selecting a heat pump system for space heating/cooling (HVAC) and/or domestic hot water (DHW).
- Process to select the optimum heat pump solution based on project goals and/or existing conditions of both the site and the building.
- Potential techniques to retrofit heat pump technology into existing HVAC and DHW applications.
- Various forms of heat sources and sinks and how to evaluate them in light of the project goals.
- Current incentives to be investigated and considered for heat pump applications.
