WSHP (water source Heat Pump)
Water Source Heat Pumps (WSHPs) are a versatile and energy-efficient solution for heating and cooling in modern buildings. Traditionally, these systems are controlled and addressed through wired automation devices, requiring extensive cabling and configuration. Despite integration into Building Management Systems (BMS), WSHPs often face challenges in achieving efficient and centralized control. They frequently operate independently from other HVAC systems, such as VRF and heating systems, leading to inefficiencies and uncoordinated operations.
This lack of integration results in disconnected temperature settings across zones, causing unnecessary energy consumption and reducing the overall effectiveness of the HVAC system. For example, one WSHP unit might overheat a space while another fails to maintain adequate cooling, leading to energy wastage and inconsistent comfort levels. Without real-time data sharing and coordination with other systems, these inefficiencies remain unresolved.
