Challenging the Status Quo: Rethinking Supplemental Heat for ASHPs
Presenter: Sammy Houssainy, PhD, PE
Explore how supplemental heating choices impact greenhouse gas emissions, learn why “one-size-fits-all” electrification strategies can fall short, and gain practical insights for region-specific HVAC design decisions
Presentation Highlights
- Emissions impacts of dual-fuel vs. all-electric supplemental heating
- Whole-building energy modeling across U.S. climate zones and grid regions
- Balancing decarbonization goals with cost and electrical infrastructure constraints
- Applying research findings to real-world commercial HVAC design
Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of dual-fuel heat pumps in commercial building decarbonization
- Compare long-term emissions impacts of electric and gas supplemental heat
- Apply region-specific strategies to optimize ASHP system design
