Comment améliorer le confort des habitants de maisons sans impact énergétique défavorable : chauffage par les pompes à chaleur électriques.

Improving occupant comfort without an energy penalty in homes heated by electric heat pumps.

Auteurs : YUILL G. K., MUSSER A.

Résumé

The purpose of the project was to evaluate the effectiveness of an add-on control device designed to improve occupant thermal comfort when installed on standard residential air-source electric heat pumps. The device was not expected to incur an energy penalty compared to normal heat pump operation. This experiment evaluated both occupant comfort and energy consumption. An add-on control device designed to proportionally control supplemental electric heating coils was installed on seven heat pumps in central Pennsylvania. Energy consumption was measured continuously and occupant comfort was assessed with a questionnaire. Results of the study indicate that the device may provide an average saving of 10% energy for the houses tested.
