Best Practices for Sustainable HVAC Design: Maximising Heat Pump Efficiency

Heat pumps have seen a significant rise in popularity in recent years – and rightly so, as they are the technology of choice for making buildings more sustainable.

However, implementing a heat pump isn’t a simple plug-and-play solution. Proper hydraulic and control-strategic integration are crucial to achieve maximum efficiency and extend the system’s lifetime. Factors such as delta-T monitoring, start-stop behaviour, storage tank sizing, return temperature control, and more must be carefully considered during the HVAC design process.

In this webinar, we’ll cover best practices for designing HVAC systems with heat pumps, exploring various system concepts and design templates. Our HVAC Expert, Finn Hansenne, will guide you through the following topics, with a live Q&A at the end:

• Heat pump sizing
• Staged versus VSD compressor
• Heat pump control (delta-T -control, returnte mperature control)
• Storage tank sizing (anti-cycling, peak shaving, anti-frost cycle)
• Heat pump / boiler hybrid (for low- and high-temperature)
• Full electric (for low- and high-temperature, booster heat pump, ammonia/propane/CO₂)
