This is a list of excellent codes and standards references that can provide material and tools for training.
In general terms (i.e., not required to list the specific code and standard), explain for a specific type of natural disaster (e.g. earthquake or flood) how local codes and industry standards could prepare and protect a building from a natural disaster.
Module on how to apply knowledge on energy efficient improvements and step by step guide on sizing cold climate air source heat pumps.
This presentation covers basics for sizing and designing air source heat pumps for use in cold climates.
This section covers why heat pumps need to be made specifically for cold climates, what qualifies a heat pump as a cold climate heat pump, and several key terms for cold climate heat pumps.
Module that covers the approaches for sizing for heat pumps and cold climate heat pumps. Additionally, it provides relevant information on balance point temperature and heat pump cycling.
User guide for tools in Cold Climate Heat Pump sizing
Which regions in the United States are those considered to be “cold climate” regions?
What are the minimum HSPF2, SEER2, and COP @ 5 °F needed to qualify an air-source heat pump as a cold climate heat pump, according to NEEP’s cold climate air-source heat pump specification?
Match the terms with the correct definition. Definition Key Term 1) ____ A heat pump HVAC system that uses a building’s ductwork to deliver heating and cooling. a) Coefficient of Performance (COP) 2) ____ A heat pump’s maximum heating capacity when the outdoor temperature is 5 °F. b) Cold Climate...
What approach to sizing single-stage heat pumps has been recommended traditionally? Oversize the cooling capacity and right-size the heating capacity. Undersize the cooling capacity and undersize or oversize the heating capacity. Right-size the cooling capacity, even if it means the heating capacity...
Why are variable-capacity heat pumps more appropriate for cold climates than single-stage heat pumps? Single-stage heat pumps cannot provide heating. Variable-capacity heat pumps can be oversized for cooling, but modulate down to prevent short-cycling and provide effective cooling and...
Which best describes the balance point temperature of a heat pump? The temperature at which the maximum heating capacity matches the heating load of the house The temperature at which the maximum heating load of the house occurs The temperature at which the heat pump begins short-cycling to match...
