Overview: Integrated heat pump water heaters in multifamily get figured out, while innovative combined mechanical systems are piloted in Canada.
Presentation 1:
Heat Pump Water Heaters in Apartments: Challenges and Solutions
Presented by Robb Aldrich, Steven Winter Associates
Putting HPWHs inside apartments can be tricky. They make some noise, they blow cold air, and there’s practically no data on how they actually perform in real buildings. This session explores real HPWH installations (some good, some bad, some horrible) in multifamily buildings, along with data on water heater interactions with space conditioning systems. Attendees will gain practical insight into successfully integrating HPWHs in multifamily buildings.
Presentation 2:
New HVAC Solution for Passive House Multifamily Buildings
Presented by Andrew Peel, Peel Passive House
Passive House should reduce project mechanical costs, but because current systems are not designed for the very low building loads, achieving this is difficult. Find out about a new approach, developed for new and existing affordable and market-rate multifamily buildings, that combines all-electric heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and domestic hot water into a single integrated system, and how it works.
