FEMP IACET: 0.2
Level: Introductory
This training introduces attendees to NREL's REopt® web tool and its capabilities in evaluating air-source heat pumps (ASHP) alongside distributed energy resources (DERs).
Designed for energy managers, facility operators, and sustainability managers, this session will explore how REopt provides techno-economic analysis to assess the financial viability of ASHP while identifying synergies with solar PV and battery storage. Participants will gain practical insights into using REopt to optimize energy strategies, reduce costs, and improve site resilience.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the fundamentals of ASHP technology and its role.
- Navigate the REopt web tool to identify the types of questions it can address and how to access its features.
- Demonstrate how to perform an ASHP evaluation within REopt, integrating solar PV and battery storage.
- Analyze key factors that impact ASHP feasibility and economic performance at different sites.
Instructors
- William Becker, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
- Kathleen Krah, NREL
