We are excited to see you online and at this month’s lunch meeting.

LUNCH MEETING: Understanding Air-Conditioning and Heat Pump Ratings

HVAC units are rated and certified to defined metrics and in many cases, must meet government regulated minimal standards before they can be offered for sales. Designers of systems using his equipment need to understand what these ratings mean in order to apply the best type unit in the system for a given application.

Key Topics:

• Different rating metrics for full load and part load performance
• What environmental conditions are these units tested at to develop the ratings
• What the rating cover and don’t cover
• How these rating effect the energy consumption of systems and overall building performance
