Architectural Design to Promote Occupant Comfort & Sustainability in Commercial Heat Pump Water Heating

to take this course

Energy costs are soaring across the country and owners are looking for cost-effective and sustainable solutions to provide hot water for their buildings. In this course, we discuss how market conditions and consumer demand are driving the move to Commercial Heat Pump Water Heating (CHPHW) systems. We describe the benefits of CHPHW systems, best practices for design professionals, and how these sustainable products can help improve energy efficiency and occupant experience.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Discuss why electrification is driving Commercial Heat Pump Water Heating (CHPHW) use and how its energy efficiency integrates with electrical grid demand
  2. Identify the benefits of different types of CHPWH central distribution systems and how they can reduce energy costs, maintenance issues, and increase thermal comfort for building occupants
  3. Describe best practices for design professionals to improve efficiency for CHPWH systems, decrease maintenance, increase longevity, and provide ROI for owners
  4. Examine how CHPWH systems have positively been specified in a variety of applications including retrofit to provide end user reliability, efficiency, and occupant comfort
  5. Review how integrated CHPWH systems can contribute to sustainability and improve energy efficiency and occupant experience
