SUMMARY:Right-Sizing Water Distribution Pipes and Water Heating Systems to Save Energy and Reduce Building Costs
DESCRIPTION:This CARD webinar will review results from 2050 Partners’ study which validates an alternative pipe sizing method\, the Uniform Plumbing Code Appendix M “Peak Water Demand Calculator” (WDC)\, based on findings from four residential multifamily buildings in Minnesota. Currently adopted and available to use in other jurisdictions’ plumbing codes\, discover how this field study starts to shed light on the potential benefits of right-sizing piping in Minnesota multifamily buildings and resulting energy efficiency and construction cost reductions.  \nAs Minnesota advances its efforts to decarbonize water heating – primarily through increased adoption of heat pump water heaters – this webinar will also share insights on how right-sizing piping can support right-sizing water heating systems in an effort to further reduce costs and improve efficiency. Last\, learn about how this work can support and inform ECO programs in Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Ductless cold climate heat pumps for multifamily applications
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 25% of multifamily units in buildings with four units or fewer and more than 40% of units in larger multifamily buildings (MFB) in Minnesota are heated with electric resistance heat (MN Energy Efficiency Potential Study\, 2018). This is particularly prevalent in lower-income buildings whose occupants can least afford high heating costs. Technological advances in cold climate air source heat pump (ccASHP) technology offer an opportunity to reduce heating energy use and occupant energy costs in this underserved housing sector. However\, retrofit applications of ccASHPs to MFBs is distinctly different from that in single-family homes\, and it is crucial to effectively recognize and address these differences for ccASHPs to meet their truly large savings potential in MFBs. \nHear key findings from Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) on a field study of a sample of ccASHPs in four Minnesota multifamily buildings\, where CEE installed\, monitored and evaluated the performance of these ccASHPs over at least one full heating season. The presentation will cover the detailed performance data to unpack the trade-offs of different ccASHP applications and approaches\, installation best practices\, the importance and impact of good controls\, and interactions with existing and supplemental heating sources.

SUMMARY:Optimized Installations of Air Source Heat Pumps for Single Family Homes
DESCRIPTION:Cold climate air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are the technology expected to provide an estimated 25% of total residential electrical savings in the state in the coming decade (MN Energy Efficiency Potential Study\, 2018). This will be an essential component in meeting Minnesota’s energy conservation goals. As interest in ASHPs increases statewide as well as nationally by stakeholders\, installations continue to rise\, and more applications are developed\, the ability to estimate savings will continue to be important for homeowners\, contractors\, and programs. Although installations are increasing\, barriers remain to meet our local and national goals. In response\, Center for Energy and Environment will share research results in this webinar\, such as: \n\nInstallation and evaluation of a sample of cold climate ASHP systems in Minnesota homes\, including: the trade-offs of different ASHP applications and approaches\, installation best practices\, the importance and impact of good controls\, and interactions with existing and supplemental heating sources.\nDetailed performance data and impact of installation and control decisions on final results\, as evaluated over a at least one full heating season.\nAnalysis of the performance of ductless multi-head heat pump applications\, the first analysis done in cold climates.\nImplications on savings calculations important to the state’s Technical Reference Manual.

SUMMARY:Air-to-Water Heat Pumps: A Cold Climate Solution for High-Efficiency Cooling\, Space Heating\, and Water Heating
DESCRIPTION:Air-to-water heat pump (AWHP) systems are a flexible type of air source heat pump that could extend heat pump savings to more customers and integrate hot water loads. However\, with this flexibility comes complexity that may hinder adoption of this new technology. In response\, Center for Energy and Environment will share research results in this webinar to fill knowledge gaps and provide context to AWHP systems for Minnesota consumers. System configurations for serving heating\, cooling\, and hot water loads in cold climate single-family homes will be clarified based on recent market research. The strengths and weaknesses of commercially available AWHPs will be uncovered further by examining detailed field monitoring results of four AWHP retrofits in Minnesota. These field results provide real-world data on the cost-effectiveness and energy saving capabilities of AWHPs in cold climates.
