Test RTU Signature Protocol on Heat Pumps Add heat pumps (HPs) with web-enables T-Stat – Anomalous performance data on 10 HP in BPA project Research Questions: How well will protocol work on HP systems? – Sufficiency of daily average temp – Many months with AM heating & PM cooling – Other HP-specific issues? Propose to install monitoring on a new site – 3 HPs for initial 24 months – Potential ETO site in Beaverton, OR – 20,000sf veterinary hospital, each HP serves single zone Data to be added to Regional RTU Research Results Database Analysis: Similar to previous, added report for heat pump-specific issues and findings
