2. Hybrid heat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_heat

   Hybrid heat works with gas furnace and electric heat pump systems [3] or using a variable-speed fan. Variable-speed fans use direct-current - electronically commutated motors (ECM). [ 4 ] [ 5 ]

3. Inverter compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter_compressor

   In air conditioning, an inverter compressor is a compressor that is operated with an inverter. In the hermetic type, it can either be a scroll or reciprocating compressor . This type of compressor uses a drive to control the compressor motor speed to modulate cooling capacity.

4. Mixed-mode ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-mode_ventilation

   Mixed-mode ventilation is a hybrid approach to space conditioning that uses a combination of natural ventilation from operable windows (either manually or automatically controlled), and mechanical systems that include air distribution equipment and refrigeration equipment for cooling. A well-designed mixed-mode building begins with intelligent ...

5. Seasonal energy efficiency ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_energy_efficiency...

   In the United States, the efficiency of air conditioners is often rated by the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) which is defined by the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute, a trade association, in its 2008 standard AHRI 210/240, Performance Rating of Unitary Air-Conditioning and Air-Source Heat Pump Equipment.

6. House Energy Rating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_energy_rating

   Required Items: refers to minimum performance requirements for building envelope and Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC). Optional Items: refers to the additional energy management system which are not mandatory in the rating scheme. it covers, the application of renewable energy, innovative energy efficient technologies.

7. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

   Central, "all-air" air-conditioning systems (or package systems) with a combined outdoor condenser/evaporator unit are often installed in North American residences, offices, and public buildings, but are difficult to retrofit (install in a building that was not designed to receive it) because of the bulky air ducts required. [32] (Minisplit ...

8. Glossary of HVAC terms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_HVAC_terms

   The hourly ventilation rate divided by the volume of a space. For perfectly mixed air or laminar flow spaces, this is equal to the number of times per hour that the volume the space is exchanged by mechanical and natural ventilation. Also called air change rate or air exchange rate. Abbreviated ACH or ac/hr. air conditioner

9. HVAC control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC_control_system

   HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment needs a control system to regulate the operation of a heating and/or air conditioning system. [1] Usually a sensing device is used to compare the actual state (e.g. temperature) with a target state. Then the control system draws a conclusion what action has to be taken (e.g. start the ...
