ShareEnvironmental benefits of different types of heat pumps, available and expected.
Author(s) : HUGHES P. J.
Summary
A brief overview of integrated resource planning is provided, with emphasis on how stakeholders interact within the process and where the opportunities may lie for heat pump advocates in cold climates. Five heat pump options that represent various approaches for improving heat pump cold weather performance are included here in a comparative analysis: 2-speed electric air source heat pumps, variable-speed electric air source heat pumps, electric ground-source heat pumps, natural gas engine-driven heat pumps, and natural gas absorption heat pumps. The comparative analysis addresses seasonal performance, seasonal peak demand, air pollutant emissions, customer energy costs, and recognition of environmental externalities in integrated resource planning, all in the context of a residential application in the Great Lakes region of the United States.
