1. Assess the limiting factors that impact on the economics of heat pumps. As an example, consider the following: a) Do you think a heat pump system will be more cost-effective in New York or in Miami? Explain. b) How does the COP of a water-source heat pump system compare to that of an air- source system? c) Temperature variation d) Cycle components cost (e.g., compressor, evaporator, condenser,..etc) e) Geothermal network configuration (i.e., length, loops number and depth)
