System Sizing and Efficiency
- Accurate Heat Loss Calculations: A well-sized heat pump system is key. MCS standards require calculating your building's heat loss to ensure the heat pump and emitters (like radiators or underfloor heating) are properly sized to meet your heating needs without wasting energy.
- Matching Heat Pump Capacity: An appropriately sized heat pump avoids overcapacity and inefficiency. MCS requires the heat pump to meet 100% of your heating demand at an outside temperature experienced for 99.6% of the year. This ensures the heat pump efficiently handles most situations.
