DESCRIPTION: Heat pumps, energy recovery, simultaneous heating and cooling are all becoming more popular in HVAC systems. We understand the need to design more energy efficient systems. But it’s not always clear which product types or system arrangements will work best. Further, heat pump and energy recovery systems can be complex to control and operate, even if they are designed well. This presentation explains the fundamental concepts that guide decision-making for engineers and owners when considering these options.

Event is free for members and $35 for non-members. Registration is required.
