Description

Refrigerant transition towards low GWP and A2L class refrigerants is a key topic in the North American HVAC industry and will be a catalyst for electrified heating/cooling systems to move back towards hydronics to move energy throughout the building for space heating/cooling and to meet the ventilation needs of the building.
Highly efficient, electrified systems can be achieved with hydronics without sacrificing indoor thermal comfort or the ventilation needs of the buildings we occupy when hydronic systems are used as the delivery method by using hydronic heat pumps to generate low-carbon heating and cooling.
This presentation will explore a system-wide approach for application of centralized heating/cooling plants, centralized ventilation and terminal units leveraging low-temperature heating and high-temperature cooling to achieve a comfortable low-carbon HVAC system. The presentation will provide an overview on chilled beams and they can be leveraged to optimize the efficiency of the overall hydronic system and improving thermal comfort and IAQ, and how integrated design with respect to the ventilation system and central heating/cooling plant must be considered.
The presentation will conclude with an overview of a case study project where low-temperature heating and high-temperature cooling was leveraged to provide a low-carbon design without sacrificing indoor air quality, thermal comfort or energy efficiency.
