Commercial Ground Loop Heat Pump SystemsDesign & Economics
Learning Objectives:
1) Describe the components of a commercial GLHP system and the details of the installation and operation of the system
2) Learn the project specific data required by software used to design a commercial ground loop and understand the economic impact for changes in each of these project specific design variables
3) Apply hybrid design enhancements to achieve additional savings on initial cost with minimal increase to operating costs
4) Discuss and identify LEED points for Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1 "Optimize energy performance" and additional points for water efficiency and points for sustainable sites as GLHP Hybrid Systems are a clear path to a net zero energy building

Upgrade to High Efficiency WSHP’s
• Standard efficiency 12 EER means for every 1 watt of electricity consumed, 3.52 watts
of energy is removed from the conditioned space resulting in 4.52 watts of waste heat
delivered to the net energy water loop
• High efficiency 21.6 EER reduces the electricity consumed from 1 watt to only 0.56
watts to remove the same amount of energy from the zone and reduces the waste
heat delivered to the net energy water loop from 4.52 watts to 4.08 watts

Hybrid GLHP Systems
• Cooling Load is out of balance with the Heating Load
• Property Area is insufficient
• Install only as much ground loop as meets the client’s desired economics – just like PV panels
Cooling Load is out of balance with the Heating Load
• Clark County School District (Las Vegas)
60% ground loop plus fluid cooler allows for winter, spring and fall operation on ground loop but runs a fluid cooler at peak loads.
• Lincoln Public Schools (Nebraska)
Boiler hybrid to eliminate anti-freeze and the 30% pumping penalty from anti-freeze.

Walk-in Freezers
AHRI Certified EER improves 20% using water cooled Ice
Making Machines as compared to air cooled machines.• Units are quieter
• Units do not add a heat load to the zone
• Units require less maintenance
Freezer and Refrigeration Cases are free sources of energy for
the Ground Loop and selecting "water cooled" improves
efficiency, reduces refrigerant charge, and improves comfort by
reducing sound levels
Hybrid GLHP Systems
The GLHP system in this Minnesota gas
station heats and cools the building: provides
hot water, food refrigeration, and ice making;
and melts snow to and from the carwash.
