Proposed Session Description
While there are established and feasible means to electrify space heating of many low heat load buildings like residential buildings, offices, and retail stores, all electric solutions for high heat load buildings such as laboratories, research and development buildings, and hospitals continue to challenge designers. Emerging products and strategies in the air to water heat pump market are creating viable solutions to meet 80-90% of the sensible heating load with efficient electrification.
Learning Objectives
Present strategies for mechanical designers, design teams, building owners and architects on how to partially electrify high heat load buildings.
Highlight technologies that can meet these demands.
Present data on sensible heat load met by electrification in these buildings.
