Heat Pump Fundamentals: Space Conditioning and Water Heating – Class 4: High Performance Fundamentals Series

April 25 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Register

This is class 4 of 6 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals Certificate series. Earn a 3C-REN certificate of completion after finishing the series and passing short quizzes at the end of each class. This series will be hosted twice throughout 2023. 

 

Having gained a solid understanding of high-performance building enclosures from classes 1 through 3 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals series, participants are well-prepared for this class, which will provide a foundation in the use of heat pumps for both space conditioning (heating and cooling) and water heating. The class will cover what a heat pump is and explain why heat pumps are essential elements of high performance buildings. Special attention will be paid to refrigerants: how heat pumps use them, how to avoid leaks through proper installation, and why it’s important to avoid leaks due to the damage they can cause to contractor profitability and the planet. An overview will be provided to aid in selecting, sizing, installing, and commissioning heat pump equipment, so that it performs as intended. 

Learning Objectives 

After attending this class, participants will be able to: 

  • Describe in lay language what a heat pump is, its benefits, and how it works; 
  • Describe the environmental consequence of releasing small quantities of refrigerant to the atmosphere; 
  • Define heat pump performance metrics and variables that differentiate different models; 
  • Explain the process of sizing and selecting a heat pump; 
  • List, in order, the steps for installing and commissioning a heat pump.
