Trane Engineers Newsletter: Storage Source Heat Pump System:  A Trane Building Case Study

High-Efficiency Heating and Cooling

The Storage-Source Heat Pump System (SSHP) is a high-efficiency, electrified hydronic heating and cooling system. It uses a water-to-water heat pump (WWHP) to heat a building with electricity instead of fossil fuels. This system incorporates two key technologies to increase the overall system heating COP and extend system operation to very cold ambient conditions: heat pumps and thermal energy storage.

Learning Through Innovation

This building is designed to serve as both a showcase and a learning laboratory, not only for Trane but also for visiting engineers and consultants. The lessons learned here will offer valuable insights for those considering the Storage Source Heat Pump for future heating projects.
