Heat Pump Software

Design and simulation software for the design and optimisation of heat pump systems. Hourly simulation of a building’s thermal behaviour and heating demand; based on building characteristics,usage profiles and local climate conditions (using the VDI 6007 methodology). Calculation of predicted heat pump performance. Calculations incorporating dual-rate electricity. Financial calculations including return on investment. Editable usage profiles for calculating heating and domestic hot water demands. Comparison of air/water heat pumps, water/water heat pumps or ground-source/water heat pumps. Incorporates the provision of electricity by a photovoltaic system to drive the heat pump system. Can include multiple heat pumps, including mixed sources (water/air/ground source). Integration of overflow valves and flow restrictions.Links to PV Simulation software results for combined calculations.
