Heat Pump Considerations for Low Ambient Conditions

Use of air-to-water heat pumps (AWHP) for heating is increasing as one means to reduce the carbon emissions of a building (decarbonization). But applying this type of equipment in a cold climate can present some interesting engineering hurdles.

This Engineers Newsletter will discuss application considerations when applying AWHPs in cold climates, limitations of the equipment, defrost methods, and how to mitigate the impact of defrost on occupant comfort.

    Decarbonization Decisions: Considering Utility Rates and Emissions Factors

    September (Q3)

    As efforts to decarbonize continue to expand, it is critical to consider the influence of the electrical grid when determining the decarbonization method for a given scenario. In this program, we will explore how utility rate structures determine project viability and discuss how grid emission rates impact project outcomes. We will consider how these concepts relate to demand management, electrification, and other decarbonization options. Contact your local Trane office to register.
