Hi,

I'm doing some residential modeling for cold climates (Chicago) and was wondering if there are examples out there for cold climate heat pumps (mini-split or central) that I can use. I am aware of the NEEP Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump list, but I'm looking for IDF models with the correct curves.

Thanks

Hi @ChristianKohler did you ever find or develop EnergyPlus residential models with Cold Climate ASHPs? I am looking for an example of a working IDF as well. Thanks in advance if you can share something!

Hi Christian, I'm currently using Trane Trace 3D+ and they offer cold climate heat pumps as part of the VRF air-cooled outdoor unit options. They have 2 cold climate options, heat pump and heat recovery.

You might try contacting them through this link: https://tranecds.custhelp.com/app/hom...

These are based on the Mitsubishi products. image description and
