Heat Pump Upgrades | ||
================== | ||
|
||
The following information is relevant for when a heat pump -related upgrade is defined in a project definition file. | ||
|
||
Types of Backup | ||
--------------- | ||
|
||
The ResStock workflow allows modeling heat pumps with either "integrated" or "separate" backup heating. | ||
Definitions for each are given below. | ||
See `HPXML Heat Pumps <https://openstudio-hpxml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/workflow_inputs.html#hpxml-heat-pumps>`_ for more information. | ||
|
||
- *integrated*: the heat pump’s distribution system and blower fan power applies to the backup heating (e.g., built-in electric strip heat or an integrated backup furnace, i.e., a dual-fuel heat pump). | ||
- *separate*: the backup system has its own distribution system (e.g., electric baseboard or a boiler). | ||
|
||
Lockout Temperatures | ||
-------------------- | ||
|
||
The ResStock workflow allows for controlling the compressor and/or backup heating lockout temperatures. | ||
Definitions for each are given below. | ||
See the `Backup <https://openstudio-hpxml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/workflow_inputs.html#backup>`_ section of the OpenStudio-HPXML documentation for more information. | ||
|
||
- *compressor*: minimum outdoor temperature for compressor operation. | ||
- *backup heating*: maximum outdoor temperature for backup operation. | ||
|
||
For example, a heat pump upgrade option could be defined with a compressor lockout temperature of 5F and a backup heating lockout temperature of 40F. | ||
See below the argument assignments that would need to be added to the ``options_lookup.tsv`` file. | ||
These values would override the OpenStudio-HPXML defaults. | ||
|
||
.. code:: | ||
heat_pump_compressor_lockout_temp=5 | ||
heat_pump_backup_heating_lockout_temp=40 | ||
Replacement Scenarios | ||
--------------------- | ||
|
||
When defining a heat pump upgrade, the new heat pump can either (a) replace the primary (existing) system, or (b) retain the primary (existing) system as its backup heating system. | ||
In the latter case, all properties (e.g., capacity) of the primary (existing) system are retained as properties of the heat pump backup heating system. | ||
|
||
Replace Primary System with New Heat Pump | ||
***************************************** | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: yaml | ||
- upgrade_name: ASHP | ||
options: | ||
- option: HVAC Heating Efficiency|ASHP, SEER 22, 10 HSPF | ||
apply_logic: | ||
- HVAC Has Ducts|Yes | ||
costs: | ||
- value: 50.0 | ||
multiplier: Size, Heating System Primary (kBtu/h) | ||
lifetime: 30 | ||
- option: HVAC Cooling Efficiency|Ducted Heat Pump | ||
Primary System becomes Backup to New Heat Pump | ||
********************************************** | ||
|
||
Use the ``Heat Pump Backup|Use Existing System`` option from the lookup. | ||
The following properties are retained: | ||
|
||
- fuel type | ||
- efficiency | ||
- capacity | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: yaml | ||
- upgrade_name: ASHP | ||
options: | ||
- option: HVAC Heating Efficiency|ASHP, SEER 22, 10 HSPF | ||
apply_logic: | ||
- HVAC Has Ducts|Yes | ||
costs: | ||
- value: 50.0 | ||
multiplier: Size, Heating System Primary (kBtu/h) | ||
lifetime: 30 | ||
- option: HVAC Cooling Efficiency|Ducted Heat Pump | ||
- option: Heat Pump Backup|Use Existing System | ||
For this scenario, the type of the backup is (automatically) determined based on information in the table below: | ||
|
||
============= ============= =========== ============================= | ||
New Heat Pump Backup System Backup Type Example | ||
============= ============= =========== ============================= | ||
ducted ducted integrated ASHP w/Furnace [#]_ | ||
ducted ductless separate ASHP w/Boiler | ||
ductless ducted separate Ductless MSHP w/Furnace | ||
ductless ductless separate Ductless MSHP w/Boiler | ||
============= ============= =========== ============================= | ||
|
||
.. [#] When furnace is fuel-fired (i.e., non-electric). | ||
When furnace is electric, it likely wouldn't be used as integrated backup. | ||
Other situations and considerations: | ||
|
||
- The primary (existing) system does not become backup to the heat pump when: | ||
|
||
- the primary system is a heat pump | ||
- the primary system is a shared system | ||
|
||
- When a secondary (existing) system exists: | ||
|
||
- it remains secondary if the heat pump upgrade is integrated backup | ||
- it is removed if the heat pump upgrade is separate backup |
