Download or read book Heat Pumps for Sustainable Heating and Cooling written by Y. H. Venus Lun and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the significance of using sustainable energy to prevent the deterioration of our planet using heat pumps. Energy sustainability can be achieved through improved energy efficiency. In this regard, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative for heating and cooling. To drive the adoption of heat pumps as a key component of sustainable buildings, the authors focus on examining sustainable practices in heat pump operations and innovative system design. In view of the growing desire to use sustainable energy to meet heating and cooling demands and improve indoor air quality, this book offers a valuable reference guide to the available options in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system design. To begin with, the authors define sustainable energy and discuss the trend of “thinking green” in building design. They then discuss sustainable practices and heat pump applications in mapping out HVAC systems. In turn, they examine the use of green operations to promote sustainable practices and, in order to highlight the importance of innovative design, discuss the configuration options and precision control aspects. In closing, the authors illustrate innovative sustainable design on the basis of several energy-efficient cases. The book’s main goal is to drive the adoption of sustainable energy solutions. Heat pumps, it argues, represent the most efficient system for meeting commercial/recreational/residential heating and cooling demands. The book not only examines industrial practices in heat pump application, but also discusses advanced heat pump technologies and innovative heat pump designs.

Download or read book Heat Pumps for the Home written by John Cantor and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, heat pumps have emerged as a promising new form of technology with a relatively low environmental impact. Moreover, they have presented householders with an opportunity to reduce their heating bills. Heat pumps can heat a building by 'pumping' heat from either the ground or the air outside: an intriguing process which utilizes principles that are somewhat analogous to those employed in the domestic refrigerator. Armed with the practical information contained in these pages, homeowners will have the necessary knowledge to take advantage of this potentially low-carbon technology to heat their properties. Now in an updated new edition, Heat Pumps for the Home describes what a heat pump is, how it works, the different methods of pumping heat and the importance of an appropriate and well-planned installation. It also provides you with the information that you need in order to make up your own mind about whether a heat pump might be appropriate to your own circumstances, and also demonstrates what you need to do to in order to make the system work efficiently.
Download or read book Heating the World A Journey Through Warmth Comfort and Innovation written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to a journey that spans the millennia, from the flickering flames of our ancient ancestors' fires to the cutting-edge technologies that heat our homes today. This exploration invites you to discover the world of HVAC heating—a world of warmth, comfort, innovation, and connection. For countless generations, humans have sought warmth as a fundamental need. From the earliest days of fire, heating has been at the heart of our homes and communities. It has provided refuge from the chill of winter, forged bonds among families and friends, and even catalyzed technological progress. In this comprehensive exploration, we will delve into the rich tapestry of heating—its history, its technologies, its impact on society and the environment, and its promising future. We will embark on a journey through the chapters of warmth, comfort, ethics, resilience, and hope. As we navigate this world of heating, we will encounter stories of individuals and communities who have harnessed the power of heating to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. We will witness the evolution of heating technologies and the innovative solutions that are shaping the future of warmth and comfort. But this exploration is not just about the mechanics of heating; it is also about the values that underlie our relationship with warmth. It is about sustainability, equity, and resilience. It is about recognizing that the warmth we seek in our homes should not come at the expense of the planet or the well-being of others. As we embark on this journey, I invite you to open your mind and your heart to the world of HVAC heating. Together, we will uncover the stories, the science, and the spirit that make heating not just a matter of technology, but a profound reflection of our shared humanity. So, let us begin this journey—into the warmth, comfort, and wonder of HVAC heating.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space conditioning represents nearly 50% of average residential household energy consumption, highlighting the need to identify alternative cost-effective, energy-efficient cooling and heating strategies. As homes are better built, there is an increasing need for strategies that are particularly well suited for high performance, low load homes. ARBI researchers worked with two test homes in hot-dry climates to evaluate the in-situ performance of air-to-water heat pump (AWHP) systems, an energy efficient space conditioning solution designed to cost-effectively provide comfort in homes with efficient, safe, and durable operation. Two monitoring projects of test houses in hot-dry climates were initiated in 2010 to test this system. Both systems were fully instrumented and have been monitored over one year to capture complete performance data over the cooling and heating seasons. Results are used to quantify energy savings, cost-effectiveness, and system performance using different operating modes and strategies. A calibrated TRNSYS model was developed and used to evaluate performance in various climate regions. This strategy is most effective in tight, insulated homes with high levels of thermal mass (i.e. exposed slab floors).
