am modeling an apartment style dormitory for a project in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">GA.</st1:State></st1:place>
Each of the 45 units is served by its own heat pump, along with a few zones for
public areas. For an energy efficiency grant application I have compared the
designed system, a ground source heat pump, with an air source heat pump
prescribed by 90.1. Other than the systems, the models are identical. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
energy use for space cooling is significantly higher for the GSHP system
(24,000 kWh vs. 17,000 kWh). Because the power required to run pumps offsets
the savings in heating energy, this destroys the rationale for spending the
extra money on the Ground Source Heat Pump, as well as our chances of receiving
the grant.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
