Michaels Engineering Completes Comprehensive Ground-Source Heat Pump Study for State of Minnesota
|
La Crosse, WI - May 9,
2008 -
Michaels Engineering has recently completed a ground-source heat pump study for the state of Minnesota.
The study compares
the performance of ground source heat pumps to conventional gas heating /
electric cooling systems in school, office, and residential buildings. Results include annual electric and gas
energy usage, annual energy costs, simple payback, life-cycle costs, and annual
emissions levels. The study includes 120
building simulations of varying building types and sizes, age (new construction
or retrofit), and climate zones.
Results are presented in concise tables for ease of comparison. The study also includes the current status
of the industry and market potential of ground-source heat pump systems for the
state.
