Topic:

Fuel Switching Hydronic Systems with Air-to-Water Heat Pumps

Join Chris DesRoches, Applied Product Manager with Mitsubishi Electric Sales Canada to discuss Air-to-Water Heat Pumps and how they can best be leveraged to reduce building emissions in retrofits of hydronic systems and new construction alike. Learn about various applications and how a simple air-cooled chiller upgrade to an air-to-water heat pump can lead to significant emission and energy use reductions. See exactly how this technology fits into a low-carbon future with electrified buildings from the point of view of engineers, mechanical designers, and energy modelers.

Key takeaways from the session:

1. Understand the concept of fuel-switching and its importance for high efficiency retrofit of existing building central plant systems.
2. Learn design strategies, sizing methodologies and application techniques of using air-to-water heat pump plant equipment.
3. Learn about the energy and cost savings, and emission reductions achievable with fuel-switching retrofit of traditional central plant systems with air-to-water heat pumps
