HVAC Commercial Market, Heat Pumps

RSS

The DOE's new Rooftop Accelerator program encourages manufacturers to develop efficient commercial rooftop heat pumps for cold climates, which could reduce GHG emissions and energy costs by up to 50%.

According to industry experts, the market for geothermal systems in Chicago is heating up.

The bill significantly reduces the cost of a geothermal installation, spurs job creation, and hopes to inspire more contractors to tap into the geothermal market.

The Chicago area is one of the markets seeing an increased interest in geothermal systems from businesses and institutions like schools and governments.

Hydronic zone systems have proven themselves to be a sustainable heating and cooling option with a longer lifespan, and potential for cost savings.

When paired with heat pumps, air handlers are a great all-electric and sustainable option.

Organizers for the Paris Olympics are working to keep athletes cool at the 2024 Olympic Games, but it doesn’t involve air conditioning. Instead, an underground cooling system will be installed.

Chillers are being used as heat pumps, outfitted with heat-recovery systems, used in building electrification projects, and installed in arrays to cool data centers.

As heat pump technology advances and begins its march into colder climates, industry experts are expecting rooftop units to continue to gain popularity in both new construction and retrofits.
