Smart Heat Pump Retrofits with Duct Performance Forecasting

The presentation will first guide attendees through the thought process of assessing the performance of an existing HVAC system, with a focus on evaluating the connected ductwork. By understanding the current system's efficiency, participants will be able to identify potential issues and areas for improvement.
Next, the session will cover how to forecast the performance of replacement equipment, such as heat pumps, and ensure that the existing duct system can support the new system effectively. This knowledge will help participants avoid costly mistakes and improve overall system efficiency.
Lastly, the session will explore how to use measurements and performance reports as tools to educate building occupants, enabling them to better understand the necessary work and potential benefits of system upgrades.
By the end of this session, participants will be equipped with the skills to enhance HVAC performance, recommend effective system changes, and communicate those changes clearly to stakeholders.
