f electric space or water heating upgrades that may have been recommended by the Energy Advisor for your home. For each one, can you please tell me if that upgrade was recommended for your home? [1 = YES, RECOMMENDED, 2 = NO, NOT RECOMMEND...
AI summary The text asks respondents to indicate whether specific electric space or water heating upgrades recommended by an Energy Advisor for their home were suggested, with options to confirm, deny, or indicate refusal or lack of memory.
Targets Revised Jan 26 2010. Note, however, that the ENH program manual shows 2010 targets of 1,000 new houses and energy savings of 4.37 GWh; the manual did not include any demand savings target. NMR Evaluation—2010 New Houses Program Pag...
AI summary In 2010, the EnerGuide for New Houses and PerformancePlus (NH) program saw participation driven largely by heat pump incentives, despite increased energy efficiency standards. Free-ridership was high, and the program's effectiveness in promoting energy efficiency is questioned.
mostly a heat pump program. That said, survey respondents reported strong interest in energy efficiency and satisfaction with the program. Specific findings and recommendations are provided below. 2 During 2010, the EnerGuide New Houses pr...
AI summary The text discusses a heat pump program and mentions survey respondents' strong interest in energy efficiency and satisfaction with the program. It also notes the re-launch of the EnerGuide New Houses program as PerformancePlus in 2010.
have been slightly inaccurate. Other factors that may have led to differences in the models include differing weather data, different water heating assumptions, and different internal calculations.37 3.6 Heat Pumps NMR conducted an analysi...
AI summary The text discusses the impact of heat pumps on EnerGuide ratings in Nova Scotia homes. Adding an air source heat pump increases the EnerGuide rating from 80 to 84, and a ground source heat pump increases it to 85. This suggests that participation in the NH program may be driven by incentives for installing heat pumps.
umps. In particular, the 3.12 COPh used in the tracking analysis corresponds to a ground loop entering evaporator temperature of 28 oF, implying that the ground temperature is in the 30-40 oF range. NMR Evaluation of 2010 C&I Custom Progra...
AI summary The document evaluates the performance of a heat pump system in Nova Scotia, noting that the ground temperature is likely between 45-50 oF, which affects both heating and cooling performance. The analysis suggests that the assumed ground temperatures in previous evaluations were lower than actual conditions, leading to biased performance estimates.
