About This Event

Energy modeling reveals when dual-fuel ASHPs reduce emissions and how designers can balance carbon, cost, and infrastructure.

Challenging the Status Quo: Rethinking Supplemental Heat for ASHPs

Presenter: Sammy Houssainy, PhD, PE

Explore how supplemental heating choices impact greenhouse gas emissions, learn why “one-size-fits-all” electrification strategies can fall short, and gain practical insights for region-specific HVAC design decisions

Presentation Highlights

Emissions impacts of dual-fuel vs. all-electric supplemental heating
Whole-building energy modeling across U.S. climate zones and grid regions
Balancing decarbonization goals with cost and electrical infrastructure constraints
Applying research findings to real-world commercial HVAC design

Learning Objectives

Understand the role of dual-fuel heat pumps in commercial building decarbonization
Compare long-term emissions impacts of electric and gas supplemental heat
Apply region-specific strategies to optimize ASHP system design
