Energy Recovery & Integrated Heat Pumps: The application of 100% Electric designs across multiple climate zones using energy recovery concepts that set the stage for a NET Zero future while minimizing annual utility expense and reducing initial capital costs
All Electric heating system applications are generally considered to be a challenge on a variety of fronts, including the containment of initial project costs and the difficulty of designing heating systems that are both efficient and resilient, particularly in colder climate zones.
This presentation reviews the application of three ALL ELECTRIC concepts, two of which include the integration of high performance energy recovery with heat pumps, based the characteristics of three very different climate zones. The analysis will also encompass initial capital cost considerations as well as annual utility expense advantages in both heating and cooling dominate climate zones.
The three climate zones where the 100% electric design concepts are applied include:
1. San Francisco – High efficiency energy recovery with indirect adiabatic cooling of the exhaust and ground source heat pump
2. Atlanta - Heat Pumps integrated directly into the Energy Recovery System
3. Boston - Heat pumps with exhaust air heat source and a second coil in the exhaust coil, designed to provide the entire building hot water requirement
System 1 eliminates gas-fired heating, while delivering a COP of 24.7 at winter design
System 2 provides 99.5% of the annual heating and 30% of the combined summer cooling and reheat requirement via energy recovery, while reducing initial chiller and boiler expense by over $1 million
System 3 provides 100% of the annual heating in a cold climate zone, without boilers
