Presents an explanation of the many standards used to rate unitary air-source pumps, air-source (direct-expansion) cooling units, furnaces and water-to-air heat pumps. Also points out important assumptions, calculation methods and rating points. The aim was to compare the energy use and demand characteristics of ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) to conventional equipment. Presents the conclusions from a bin analysis using Atlanta and Chicago weather data.
