The Hudson Valley Heat Pump Pilot was a field test project demonstrating the energy, cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) savings achievable by installing “cold climate” air source heat pumps (ccASHP) into existing New York State homes. Fuel readings from utility bills and delivery logs from pre- and post-retrofit periods were collected, allowing comparison of pre- and post-retrofit energy use. Detailed project results and lessons learned will be presented.
Christopher will provide an brief update on the several research efforts being conducted by Bonneville Power Administration and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) on variable speed air source heat pumps. He will present the case for when a cold climate heat pump is essential, but also where focus on other performance characteristics result in better customer outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
By attending this session, attendees will:
Understand the savings capability of cold climate air source heat pumps in climate zones 5 and 6
Learn about challenges and opportunities associated with increasing market uptake of cold climate air source heat pumps
Learn about challenges and opportunities associated with installing cold climate air source heat pumps
