Class Description


This short course focuses on using a step-by-step design process for a commercial project using water source heat pumps. Knowledge of fundamental principles is assumed for this course and emphasis is on application of these principles to Water Source Heat Pump (WSHP) design. Participants learn using a class example project to follow the design steps and complete a WSHP project design. HVAC designers, engineers, design / build contractors, and sales people involved in water source heat pump projects will benefit from this course.


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Distinguish between the types of products and proper application of each
  • Determine zoning, and make initial design decisions as impacted by the system
  • Calculate heating and cooling loads for room and block conditions
  • Select diffusers for a good air motion and design the low-pressure duct system
  • Design a ventilation system that will provide acceptable ventilation
  • Layout the condenser piping loop and select the pumps and valves
  • Select a cooling tower and boiler that will meet loop requirements
  • Explain steps that should be taken to control acoustic energy
  • Describe the control sequence for a typical loop project
  • Explain methods of controlling humidity and heat recovery opportunities
  • Describe how to do an energy study for these units

A cumulative score of 70% is required to pass this course. The score is a combination of attendance, class participation, and a demonstration of skills and knowledge through quizzes and/or work sessions.
