Everyone is talking about heat pumps these days, and how they are a critical technology needed to meet decarbonization and electrification goals around the world. But how much credit should a home get for different kinds of heat pumps? Inverter-driven heat pumps, cold-climate heat pumps, variable capacity heat pumps...what's the difference!? And what can SEER2 and HSPF2 tell us about how they will perform in real life? This session will review the current state of modeling heat pump technologies and the challenges being addressed by a new RESNET® Heat Pump Modeling Working Group.
