D+R LEARN’s Introduction to Heat Pumps Course

The D+R LEARN has taken part in dozens of case studies, site captures, and content development projects over the years. Many of those have focused on heat pump technology and the impact the technology has on water heating, HVAC, and energy efficiency in a number of environments. Surprisingly, heat pump technology is not as new to the scene as many homeowners or commercial site operators think. In fact, heat pumps have been around for over a century, advancing and improving efficiency and service over time.‍

What is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat energy using electricity. Unlike conventional heating and cooling systems that generate heat, a heat pump moves existing heat from one location to another—keeping homes, businesses, and even pools comfortable year-round.‍

First Look at the Introduction to Heat Pumps Course

That rich history, along with research and real-world application, led to the inception of a new educational course here at D+R. This course explores the composition, operation, and application of heat pumps in building settings. Specifically, it examines the evolution and versatility of heat pump technology in comfort heating/cooling and domestic hot water applications, successful implementation examples, and essential lessons learned. Furthermore, learners will explore the value of heat pumps, including decarbonization, energy efficiency, and grid stability opportunities.
