Introduction to Water Source Heat Pump Systems Part 2: When and Where to Use Them

Introduction to Water Source Heat Pump Systems Part 2: When and Where to Use Them

Water source heat pump (WSHP) systems can be successfully and advantageously applied in a wide variety of commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential buildings. The commonality that makes any of these potentially suitable for WSHP design is the need for simultaneous heating and cooling with individualized zone control. But WSHPs can be useful in meeting other requirements….
