6 SLO CCA, What’s it all about? On January 1, 2020, there was a major change in the way electricity is distributed in San Luis Obispo … in conjunction with Monterey Bay. Here is an intro document to learn about this so you can teach the rest of us. Our own Eric H. Veium <eveium@calpoly.edu>, is the original mover for this proposal. Jasmin C

7 Heat Pumps replacing Heaters? I don’t have a heater at my house and it’s cold in the winter. I hear that heat pumps will be cheaper and environmentally more responsible, so I should get one. Please research this for me and deliver a recommendation for my house and let me know how much it will cost and what the environmental benefit is over a regular heater. We study Heat Pumps in ~ week 7, so you might as well start with that video:

  • See video: Heat Pump Efficiency and slides
  • Note: Heat pumps don’t pump hot air from cold to hot, they move thermal energy to a hotter place. Can you explain the difference?
