<font size="3">One normally associates air source heat pumps with DX cooled
systems. But I notice that you can select HEAT-SOURCE = HEAT-PUMP
for systems I would normally consider hydronic. For example a VAVS system
which only allows hydronic cooling allows the option of Heat Pump for
heating. Would this be a common practice in construction?<br><br>
It is more hypothetical than actually wanting/needing to model this
configuration. <br><br>
