The session will also address common misconceptions about performance and reliability, highlight non-energy benefits, and outline how design teams can support heat pump adoption in collaboration with clients and contractors. By connecting technology, design, and real-world application, this course equips participants to confidently advocate for heat pump technology, question misinformation, and contribute to a more sustainable, low-carbon built environment.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the operating principles of heat pumps and their importance in advancing decarbonization and occupant health, safety, and welfare.
2.Analyze the range of heat pump technologies and determine how to apply them effectively in various building types and climates.
3. Evaluate common misconceptions and design challenges related to heat pump performance, efficiency, and climate suitability.
4. Develop strategies for design teams to integrate heat pump technologies into zero-carbon design approaches that enhance building performance and resilience.
