What kind of HVAC system will be used in Future House USA?
This project takes full advantage of the energy stored in the soil under Future House USA with a closed loop geothermal system. Geothermal is a passive system that heats without combustion, emits no CO2 from the unit, and features the highest efficiency rating of any air conditioning available. Climate Master is the exclusive sponsor of the FHUSA geothermal system! Design and technical assistance in heat pump specification, GSHP system design, and whole building energy analysis, was provided by Climate Master’s Dr. Xiaobing Liu, Systems Engineering Manager. Totally, the Climate Master Tranquility Series system is comprised of two TT038 and three TT012 heat pumps and the total installed tonnage is 9 ton of heating and cooling. The 4,500 ft2 house is divided into two zones to recognize the difference of solar heat gain from the west and east side of the building. Zone 1 covers the east side of the house, including kitchen and dining, living room, and the master suite. Zone 2 covers the w
