Heat pumps are not boilers… They have specific requirements for flow, water temperatures, and other design considerations. When designing a hydronic “balance-of-system” that will be paired with an air-to-water or water-to-water heat pump it’s essential to respect those details to optimize the heat pump’s performance. This webinar will show 10 specific details, explain why they are necessary, and point to what could happen if they are not followed.

Learning objectives:

– How heat emitter selection affect heat pump performance.

– Why location matters when placing the outdoor unit of an air-to-water heat pump.

– The critical issues associated with chilled water cooling.

– How to accommodate “micro-loads” without starving the heat pump for flow.

Designing an effective control strategy can be challenging. With so many components packed into a mechanical room, it’s easy to end up with a patchwork of controls that don’t work well together. In this session, we’ll explore a control solution that takes a “one control to rule them all” approach.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand why a 2-wire thermostat can make all the difference in retrofit applications.

2. Learn how to manage zoning for radiant systems, fan coils, and dampers—all from a single zone control system.

3. See how priorities and lockouts fit into today’s evolving system efficiencies and comfort requirements.

4. Discover how this control improves IAQ by supporting cyclical air movement.

5. Explore why app-based tools can make all the difference.
