Heat pump modelling has become more difficult since PHPP version 10 disallowed the entry of standard data. The tool PHI designed to assist doesn’t work well for New Zealand and Australian projects as the heat pump suppliers do not have the data calculated to the EU standards. Sustainable Engineering Ltd has developed resources to start to remedy this situation, developing a database for heat pump performance data and a verification tool.
This webinar delves into some technical detail of how heat pumps are processed in PHPP. Plus we demonstrate how to use these resources save time and effort and help you enter more accurate, reliable results into the heat pump worksheet.
Overall learning outcome
The webinar will enable participants to more quickly and accurately complete the heat pump worksheet in PHPP, by understanding how to use the heat pump supplier database and Sustainable Engineering Ltd’s heat pump data verification tool.
On completion, participants will:
- understand how PHPP uses heat pump performance data;
- know where and how to source reliable heat pump data in Aotearoa New Zealand;
- be capable of using the Sustainable Engineering Ltd heat pump database to streamline data entry into the PHPP heat pump worksheet;
- be familiar with methods for verifying data values; and
- recognise how over-sizing cooling equipment leads to poor performance and low seasonal COP values in PHPP.
