End-Use Savings Shapes
Heat Pump Rooftop Units
(HP-RTUS) With Original Fuel Backup
For original fuel (OF) backup scenario:
27% stock heating gas savings (226 TBtu)
⚫ -22% stock heating electricity savings (-43 TBtu)
• 11% stock cooling electricity savings (81 TBtu)
• 19% stock fan electricity savings (112 TBtu)
• Cooling and fan savings could also be attributed
to high-performance non-HP-RTUS.
•
Savings are associated with premium units.
Electric backup scenario shows higher electricity
and lower natural gas consumption compared to
original fuel scenario.
