Mini-Split Heat Pump Evaluation and Zero Energy Ready Home Support

Description

This project was created from a partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Building America research team, IBACOS, Inc., and a production builder of high-performance homes called Imagine Homes, which is located in San Antonio, Texas-a hot-humid climate. The primary purpose of this project was to evaluate the performance of a multihead mini-split heat pump (MSHP) space-conditioning system in maintaining uniform comfort in an occupied test house. My Design - PV: Test house design characteristics, with installed PV system DESIGN - Occupied Test House with PV: Design used for one occupied test house including PV STRUCTURE - Platinum Court San Antonio, TX: Occupied test house in 2013
