1 TECHNICAL NOTE MODELED ENERGY AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF A PORTLAND, ME. HOME WITH AN EXISTING OIL-FIRED NON-CONDENSING BOILER AND A TWO-HEAD MINI- SPLIT 38,000 BTU HEAT-PUMP OPERATING IN THREE MODES. JULY 2015 Dr. Thomas Butcher Brookhaven National Laboratory Building 526, P.O. Box 5000 Upton, L. I. NY Richard S. Sweeter, President EXERGY Partners Corp Meadowville Court Herndon, Virginia 20170

2 Mini-Split Heat Pump Assessment There are several technical and economic assessments of the performance of cold ambient mini-split heat pumps versus oil heating systems with a wide variety of economic and operating assumptions. This brief modeling study was requested by Maine Energy Marketers Association who are seeking to understand how best to apply cold climate mini-split heat-pumps, particularly to existing oil heated homes. 2,500 ft 2 Ranch style home located in Portland, ME was modeled to develop a typical residential load profile for this location. This home is typical "code" construction. It has standard 2X4 stud wall construction, a basement and a peak roof with an R30 insulation level. The home does not use night setback. Setpoint is constant at 70 F for heating. A family of 4 is assumed and domestic hot water use is 63.4 gal/day which is the national average currently used in the DOE water heater test procedure. Table 1 presents the physical parameters used in the model. Table 1 - SUMMARY PARAMETERS Location - Portland, ME Size ft 2 2,500 Family Size - 4 Stories - 1 Envelop - Code compliant DHW Use gal/day 64.3 Setback F/F 70/70 Building Type Residential The three assessed operating modes are: 1. Oil-fired boiler heats the home 2. Oil-fired boiler heats the home in December, January and February and the heat-pump heats the home in all other conditions) 3. Heat-pump heats the home and when the heat-pump is capacity limited the oil-fired boiler supplements the heating. Usually this is accomplished by the heat-pump thermostats being set at a higher temperature that the oil-fired heating system. There are some technical concerns with the concept of operating the oil-fired boiler as a backup to a heat pump in the winter. An oil-fired central hydronic heating system has heat delivery units (baseboard radiators) in all rooms. The heat pump system may include a small number of heat delivery units (e.g. wall mounted cassettes). This may lead to reduced temperature uniformity in the home. Second, under very cold outdoor conditions and with some parts of the home not heated, the combination of cold rooms and potentially low circulation in the hydronic loop can lead to increased potential for frozen and broken pipes. Another consideration is the impact on oil-fired boiler efficiency. These systems have their highest efficiency under high load conditions. Extended operation under low load, heat-pump back-up service can lead to strong efficiency degradation for many systems currently installed. Page 2 of 6

3 Table 2 provides a summary of the economic results based on a 2.75 per gallon cost for heating oil and 15.5 /kwh residential electric cost. The results of this analysis show that adding heat pumps for heating purposes only is not economically viable.
