This project was created from a partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Building America research team, IBACOS, Inc., and a production builder of high-performance homes called Imagine Homes, which is located in San Antonio, Texas-a hot-humid climate. The primary purpose of this project was to evaluate the performance of a multihead mini-split heat pump (MSHP) space-conditioning system in maintaining uniform comfort in an occupied test house. My Design - PV: Test house design characteristics, with installed PV system DESIGN - Occupied Test House with PV: Design used for one occupied test house including PV STRUCTURE - Platinum Court San Antonio, TX: Occupied test house in 2013
Mini-Split Heat Pump Evaluation and Zero Energy Ready Home Support
This is the BEopt file for the 2013 Imagine Test House. Version 2.2.0.1 was used. The last Design tab, "2013 Test House (++MSHP)," includes the mini-split heat pump in the options. This model represents the builder standard construction practices against the test house with costs included from the builder.
