Cooling Heating Type
| List Options | Option Definition | Unit of Measure | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Absorption chiller | None | ||
| Boiler | Use "Cooling Heating Medium" to further categorize the boiler as hot water or steam, if desired. | None | |
| Built in heater | Built-in heater is a category intended to represent wall or floor mounted units that generate and deliver heat to a local zone such as wall-mounted electric heating panels. | None | |
| Chiller | Generic chiller | None | |
| District chilled water | None | ||
| District heating | A centrally located plant that is used for heating. Use "Cooling Heating Medium" to further categorize as hot water or steam, if desired. | None | |
| District steam to hot water HX | A centrally located plant that is used to generate steam that is then moved through a heat exchanger to create hot water for heating. | None | |
| Evaporative cooler | A cooler that cools indoor air by moisture evaporation, thereby lowering its dry-bulb temperature and raising its wet-bulb temperature, all at a constant energy (adiabatic) level | None | |
| Fireplace | None | ||
| Furnace | Packaged assembly of components that includes a heating source, a fan and an air filter, that relies on convection for heating delivery. Use "Cooling Heating Medium" to specify air if desired. | None | |
| Furnace warm air | Packaged assembly of components that includes a heating source, a fan and an air filter, that relies on convection for heating delivery | None | |
| Heat pump | Generic heat pump | None | |
| Heating stove | None | ||
| Individual space heater | Individual space heater is a category intended to represent a free-standing or self-contained unit that generates and delivers heat within a local zone. These heaters are characterized by a lack of pipes or ductwork for distributing hot water, steam, or warm air through a building. These heaters are portable and would include electric radiant or quartz heaters, heating panels, gas- or kerosene-fired or electric unit heaters, and infrared radiant heaters. | None | |
| No cooling | None | ||
| No heating | None | ||
| None | None | ||
| Not applicable | None | ||
| Other | None | ||
| Packaged terminal air conditioner | A packaged terminal air conditioner, or PTAC, is a self-contained air conditioning system commonly found in hotels, motels, senior housing facilities, hospitals, condominiums, apartment buildings, add-on rooms and sunrooms. | None | |
| Packaged terminal heat pump | A Packaged terminal heat pump, or PTHP, is a factory-packaged refrigerant-based heat pump with no air distribution system other than a built-in fan. | None | |
| Packaged unitary direct expansion RTU | A unit that includes all the components- evaporative coil, compressor, expansion valve, condenser coil, and fans that's installed outside and the supply air is ducted inside. A separate heating source- electric or gas pack- is added if needed | None | |
| Packaged unitary heat pump | Factory-packaged refrigerant-based heat pump with an air distribution system and a reversing valve to alter the flow of refrigerant based on the need. | None | |
| Single package vertical air conditioner | Compact through-the-wall packaged system capable of providing total heating and cooling functions for a single zone or multiple rooms, designed with sufficient air-handling capacity for ducted installations. | None | |
| Single packaged vertical heat pump | Compact through-the-wall packaged system capable of providing total heating and cooling functions for a single zone or multiple rooms, designed with sufficient air-handling capacity for ducted installations. | None | |
| Solar thermal | Air or water heated using solar collectors | None | |
| Split DX air conditioner | Split direct expansion | None | |
| Unknown | None | ||
| Vapor compression chiller | None | ||
| Variable refrigerant flow | System using refrigerant as the cooling and heating medium, conditioned by a single outdoor condensing unit, and circulated within the building to multiple fan-coil units. The system supports variable motor speed and thus variable refrigerant flow rather than simply on/off operation. | None |
