Document Description
The purpose of this project is to develop and demonstrate affordable near-term and medium-term solutions for integration of lower cost, low- and ultra-low global warming potential heat pumps. The project will develop and test the performance of the heat pump in the laboratory to develop performance maps of the system. The project will install the next generation heat pumps in 10 homes over two California climate zones and evaluate the performance relative to the baseline.
