 View Saved (0)

Purpose:

This design guide outlines practical information about domestic hot water heat pump systems. As new zero-carbon targets are adopted in British Columbia, the heating of domestic hot water is representing a significant portion of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This guide highlights a variety of DHW heat pump systems, design considerations, and best approaches and practices to consider when using DHW heat pump systems.

Impact:

Reducing GHG emissions and hitting zero-carbon targets will require a new approach to domestic hot water systems. This guide provides industry professionals with the information needed to approach designing with DHW heat pump systems in mind while building towards these targets.
