Events & Webinars

In this webinar, CEE's Samantha Hill will share results from a recent field study of more than 30 heat pumps installed as AC replacements in IL. The webinar will cover the basics of this product category, discuss best practices, and review feedback from the participating project homeowners. Applying the lessons learned from this field study could help cost effectively accelerate the displacement of outdated ACs in favor of beneficial heat pumps for all.

Center for Energy and Environment will share research results in this webinar, such as:

• Installation and evaluation of a sample of cold climate ASHP systems in Minnesota homes, including: the trade-offs of different ASHP applications and approaches, installation best practices, the importance and impact of good controls, and interactions with existing and supplemental heating sources.
• Detailed performance data and impact of installation and control decisions on final results, as evaluated over a at least one full heating season.
• Analysis of the performance of ductless multi-head heat pump applications, the first analysis done in cold climates.
• Implications on savings calculations important to the state’s Technical Reference Manual.

Air-to-water heat pump (AWHP) systems are a flexible type of air source heat pump that could extend heat pump savings to more customers and integrate hot water loads. However, with this flexibility comes complexity that may hinder adoption of this new technology. In response, Center for Energy and Environment will share research results in this webinar to fill knowledge gaps and provide context to AWHP systems for Minnesota consumers.
