Air-Source Heat Pump Sizing and Selection
This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the Air-Source Heat Pump (ASHP) sizing and selection process. It provides guidance on the process of sizing air source heat pumps according to the design heating or cooling load and intended use (“Sizing”), as well as identifying the appropriate system according to the installation and application (“Selection”).
The focus of this course is on air source heat pumps for space heating and/or cooling applications. It covers several applications of ASHPs, including new home (or major new addition) installations, full heating system replacement where existing HVAC equipment is removed, as well as add-on ASHP applications to displace heating energy or provide supplemental heating where existing heating equipment remains functional.
This 5 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, systems designers, and other technical professionals to assist them in selecting and sizing air source heat pumps in both new and existing residential applications.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the most common terminology used in the industry
- Learning about the different applications and technologies of ASHPs
- Learning how to determine the design heating and cooling load estimates
- Understanding the sizing approach and capacity requirements of ASHPs
- Gaining an overview of the ASHP control strategies and backup heating requirements
