In Match Made in HVAC: Choosing the Right Heat Pump for Your Building, you will learn to understand the first steps in transitioning from fossil-fueled heating and cooling systems to heat pumps.

Discover why heat pumps are the future of building HVAC and gain the practical knowledge you need to lead an energy upgrade with confidence.

The success of a heat pump installation depends heavily on a few early decisions made at the start of the project. Conversely, early mistakes can set projects on a path toward problems. In this training, you’ll learn how to choose the right system, avoid common pitfalls, and develop a strategic plan that is tailored to your existing building’s unique needs.

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

This training is ideal for practitioners trying to navigate the transition from fossil-fueled systems to heat pump technology in commercial and multifamily residential buildings including:
