HTAP hard-codes the HP rating temperature to -5ºC; which is fine as long as users have provided the corresponding COP. Many may assume that this actually means 8.3ºC - If they provide a higher-than-expected COP, the heat pump model will overpredict performance and underpredict energy use.

To Do:

  • Decide what default rating temperature makes most sense
  • Review current COP data and determine what values are supposed to be used
  • Incorporate MaRS/ICF study changes.
