Retrofitting Hydronic Heating Systems
The use of electrified heating solutions has moved to the forefront of hydronic heating design and appears daunting to many engineers, specifically in the retrofit market. Eighty percent of buildings that will be operational in 2050 have already been built, and the approaches to electrified heating systems vary from building to building. Today’s equipment options don’t allow for drop-in boiler replacements.

Modern Unitary Heat Pump Applications
Introduction to various heat pump configurations from traditional heat pumps to dual fuel heat pumps that are available today to support electrification and decarbonization initiatives. We will review heat pump terminology, how to size heat pumps based on ASHRAE climate zones and selection of auxiliary heat along with CO2 emission reduction and energy consumption as compared to traditional gas/electric and electric/electric rooftop units.
