Seminar 61 -- Hybrid Boiler Innovations and Applications for Energy and Cost Savings

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Hybrid boilers are an innovative approach for minimizing energy use while maintaining building occupant comfort and potentially reducing life cycle costs. By coupling complementary technologies, each can be operated at optimal conditions to reduce energy use and the system as whole can be right sized to maintain comfort on the coldest days. This seminar will presenton case studies and best practices for using non/condensing, gas heat pump, and electric heat pump coupled hybrid boilers forheating applications.
