Simplifying the Shift to Hydronic Heat Pump Systems
Learn to navigate the shift to hydronic heat pump systems, optimize heating efficiency, and tackle integration challenges in our expert-led webinar.
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025 | 2pm EST
Guidehouse Insights reports that heat pumps have grown in adoption over the past five years, and the global commercial heat pump market is estimated to reach $52.8 billion by 2029, a ~109% increase from 2020. Join our webinar to stay at the forefront of the electrifying HVAC landscape.
This presentation will address the challenges with transitioning to hydronic heat pump systems, including higher costs and integration complexities with new or existing building designs. Discover the benefits of low-temperature hot water, optimal temperatures for effective heating, and strategies to replace traditional boiler systems. Our experts will introduce the dual-purpose coil concept, branch zoning, and explain the importance of thermal blocking.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of how low-temperature hot water systems enhance efficiency and sustainability in building heating applications.
- Determine the optimal leaving air temperatures and hot water supply needed for effective and efficient building heating.
- Learn how to reduce retrofit complexities by repurposing existing branch piping.
- Analyze real-world case studies and plant solutions that demonstrate the successful electrification of HVAC systems using hydronic heat pump technology.
