  • Ground source heat pumps . 32°F (0°C) entering liquid temperature

    • Liquid source heat pump and heat recovery water-chilling packages . 44 ° F (6 ° C) heating source leaving liquid temperature.

Reference ASHRAE 90.1, Section 6.8 Tables to identify applicable rated conditions. For equipment with efficiency ratings using HSPF, AFUE, or any rating other than COP or COPH, convert these ratings to COP using Table 2 before calculating the weighted average COP.

Additional considerations For heat pump water-chilling packages or heat recovery water-chilling packages rated per ASHRAE 90.1, Table 6.8.1-16, adjust COP using the equations from Table 2 to align equipment ratings for entering/leaving heating liquid temperature at medium, high, or boost conditions with the default low ratings.
