by Jbs120709 a3 — December 11, 2009—U.K. built environment consultant BSRIA (owned by The Building Services Research and Information Association) has published a guide explaining the design of heat pump-based heating and cooling systems to maximize the benefits of reduced operating costs and carbon emissions while avoiding excessive capital costs for plant and infrastructure.
The guide focuses on the application of packaged heat pump plants for residential and small commercial buildings, although some guidance is provided for component-based plants that may be used for larger scale applications.
Purchase full hard or electronic copies of Heat Pumps—A Guidance document for designers (BG 7/2009) from the BSRIA Bookshop. The Introduction, Heat Pump Fundamentals, and Legislation sections of the guide are downloadable online as a Sample PDF.
