Integrated HVAC Control Methods for Supplemental High-Efficiency Mini-Split Heat Pumps in Existing Homes

This project will further refine a new approach to using mini-split heat pumps in existing homes. The team will focus on using a single, centrally located mini-split heat pump as the primary system, while only using the existing lower efficiency central system as needed.
