Domestic water heating accounts for more than 20% of the total energy consumption in Canadian residential sector. This study is intended to investigate the potential of an innovative water heating technology, namely Air Source Heat Pump Water Heater (ASHPWH), and to develop technical characteristics for the applications in residential houses. This will be achieved through rigorous field performance tests and computer simulation. The industrial partner, AO Smith, is a well-established global company for high quality water heating technologies and equipment. As one of their latest innovations, the ASHPWH is designed to provide high efficiency water heating for residential houses. The performance of these water heaters may vary greatly due to different site-specific characteristics. To examine the performance issues of ASHPWH for Canadian residential houses, AO Smith Corporation has proposed this research in collaboration with Dr. Wey Leong of Ryerson University. The company will provide an ASHPWH system which will be integrated in the Archetype Sustainable House (ASH) located in the Kortright Centre for Conservation, Ontario. The investigation will identify the key performance parameters of ASHPWH device for residential buildings in Canada by methodical testing and modeling. The project will also evaluate the impact of integration of heat recovery from the outgoing stale air in the ventilation system. The study will provide a scientific basis for the potential and operational challenges of this technology in Canada. This six-month research headed by Dr. Wey Leong of Ryerson University will foster a collaboration between Ryerson and AO Smith Corporation, which would be beneficial to AO Smith water heating business in Canada, and will help to build a strong partnership for future research and development activities.

在加拿大住宅部门，家用热水占总能耗的20%以上。本研究旨在探讨空气源热泵热水器(ASHPWH)这一新型热水技术的潜力，并探讨其在住宅中应用的技术特点。这将通过严格的现场性能测试和计算机模拟来实现。工业合作伙伴AO Smith是一家在高质量热水技术和设备方面享有盛誉的全球公司。作为他们最新的创新之一，ASHPWH旨在为住宅提供高效的热水。由于场地不同，这些热水器的性能可能会有很大差异。检查用于加拿大住宅的ASHPWH的性能问题 奥史密斯公司与瑞尔森大学的梁伟伟博士合作提出了这项研究。该公司将提供一个ASHPWH系统，该系统将被集成到位于安大略省科特赖特保护中心的原型可持续住宅(ASH)中。本次调查将通过有条不紊的测试和建模，确定加拿大住宅建筑ASHPWH装置的关键性能参数。该项目还将评估从通风系统中排出的陈旧空气中综合回收热的影响。这项研究将为这项技术在加拿大的潜在和操作挑战提供科学依据。 这项由Ryerson大学的Wey Leong博士领导的为期六个月的研究将促进Ryerson和AO Smith Corporation之间的合作，这将有利于AO Smith在加拿大的热水业务，并将有助于为未来的研发活动建立牢固的合作伙伴关系。
