2. Seasonal energy efficiency ratio - Wikipedia

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

   The unit is operated 120 days each year for 8 hours per day (960 hours per year), and the electric energy cost is $0.10 per kilowatt-hour. What is its annual cost of operation in terms of electric energy? First, we convert tons of cooling to BTU/h: (4 tons) × (12,000 (BTU/h)/ton) = 48,000 BTU/h. The annual cost of the electric energy is:

3. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

   The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs.

4. Heating seasonal performance factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_seasonal...

   Heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) is a term used in the heating and cooling industry. HSPF is specifically used to measure the efficiency of air source heat pumps. HSPF is defined as the ratio of heat output (measured in BTUs) over the heating season to electricity used (measured in watt-hours). [1] [2] It therefore has units of BTU ...

5. Ground source heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump

   Commercial systems maintenance costs in the US have historically been between $0.11 to $0.22 per m 2 per year in 1996 dollars, much less than the average $0.54 per m 2 per year for conventional HVAC systems. [6] Governments that promote renewable energy will likely offer incentives for the consumer (residential), or industrial markets.

6. Heating degree day - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_degree_day

   Heating degree day (HDD) is a measurement designed to quantify the demand for energy needed to heat a building. HDD is derived from measurements of outside air temperature. The estimated average heating energy requirements for a given building at a specific location are considered to be directly proportional to the number of HDD at that location.

7. Heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

   As of 2022 the installation cost of a heat pump is more than a gas boiler, but with the "Boiler Upgrade Scheme" [104] government grant and assuming electricity/gas costs remain similar their lifetime costs would be similar on average. [105]
