ZED's Jordan Goldman on Minisplits

At the Fine HomeBuilding (FHB) Summit last year, ZED Engineering Principal Jordan Goldman presented an in-depth and well-received session on minisplit heat pumps.

A specialist in energy modeling, HVAC systems, and mechanical design, Goldman started the discussion with a reminder that the ultimate goal of designing heat pumps is the indoor comfort of the home. He also shared several tips for HVAC engineers, architects, and contractors working with this technology, including its strengths and weaknesses, how to best put it into use in a well-insulated home, and common mistakes to avoid during design and installation.

Recently, Green Building Advisor, which focuses on green building, designing, and remodeling strategies, published a great review of Goldman’s FHB minisplit presentation. You can read the article here.
