About This Course
We discuss groundbreaking ways to approach heat pumps that can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of retrofits and new construction. Traditional approaches, like Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems and 1-to-1 mini splits, have drawbacks like high embodied carbon, or face challenges with new refrigerant requirements, central system complexities, or space limitations with existing buildings. This webinar explores a series of novel heat pump solutions—large geothermal, window saddle units, packaged terminal heat pumps, and air-to-water hydronic systems—that offer more variable electrification options. Join us to learn how these applications can transform the way we think about heat pumps, and to explore how applications of these technologies differ in climate zones, building typologies, and construction markets.
