| Title |
| Introduction to Heat Pumps (1 credit hours) |
| Course Description |
|
This 1 hour course provides an introduction to the use of heat pumps in residential and small commercial buildings. During the cooling season, heat pumps operate like air conditioners, transferring heat from inside to outside the house. During the heating season, heat pumps transfer heat in the other direction—from outside to inside the house. Because significantly less energy is needed to transfer heat than to generate it, during the heating season heat pumps generally consume less energy than would be consumed by gas or electric furnaces. This course discusses the different types of heat pumps: air-source, mini-split, geothermal, and absorption. Additional discussion is provided about operation and maintenance, thermostats, and minimizing energy losses in ducts.
