About this course
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the American regulatory system for heat pump space and water heating. It covers key databases and standards, including the Department of Energy's efficiency metrics and testing protocols, California's Title 20 regulations, and certification processes through organizations like AHRI, NEEP, and NEEA.
The course explores minimum efficiency requirements, testing procedures, and compliance mechanisms for various types of heat pumps, including air-source, geothermal, and water heaters. Additionally, it discusses the DOE/Energy Star Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge, which aims to improve heat pump performance, affordability, and consumer appeal, particularly in colder climates. Overall, the course offers valuable insights into the complex landscape of heat pump regulations and certifications in the United States.
