This presentation explores the shift toward air-source heat pump chiller (ASHPC) technology driven by Washington’s evolving energy codes and global decarbonization goals. Participants will learn to define capabilities and differentiate the reality of these machines from their common misconceptions. Also explored will be the technical nuances of modularity and compressor types. You will hear lessons learned, and key considerations to be aware of during design to save money and avoid headaches.
