Overview
Morning Workshop: Multi-family CO2 Heat Pump DHW Design Training
As the BC market continues to drive down heating loads via the BC Energy Step Code, domestic hot water production becomes the dominant load in multi-family buildings and the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, thereby driving a switch from fossil fuel-based solutions to electric heat pumps. This transition requires a re-examination of plant sizing and distribution solutions. This presentation will address the nature of CO2 heat pumps, and how they can be applied to multi-family buildings. The emerging strategy is to use an individual Sanden CO2 heat pump as a scalable module to creating a centralized DHW system. The key design points include understanding the building load characteristics and matching them up to DHW storage and recovery that fits the next load draw.
Afternoon Workshop: Sanden SANCO2 DHW Installer Training
As the City of Vancouver transitions to zero emissions buildings, robust and cost-effective solutions for decarbonizing domestic hot water are necessary. We have partnered with Sanden and Small Planet Supply to offer specialized training for installers and interested designers on CO2 heat pump systems, applicable to single family and multi-family projects.
The SANCO2 Heat Pump Water heater is based on EcoCute technology and features the highest efficiency and First Hour rating of any HPWH presently sold in North America. The product is sold nationally in the United States and Canada, and is installed by both plumbers and HVAC contractors. There are currently several projects in BC that have installed this technology.
