Testing of Commercial Variable Capacity Heat Pump (VCHP) Systems for Small Commercial Office Buildings

This field study is evaluating the potential of variable capacity heat pump (VCHP) systems that have the ability to use smart integrated controls, variable-speed drives, refrigerant piping, and heat recovery to provide interior temperature control on products that can be controlled by a smart thermostat with attributes that include high energy efficiency, flexible operation, ease of installation, low noise, zone control, and comfort using all-electric technology.
