Datasets for residential GSHP analysis by climate in the United States.

ABSTRACT: This data captures climate information and HVAC energy use for a baseline prototype home and for a replacement alternative energy home. The baseline home is a traditional DX cooling/gas furnace system, and the alternate system is a geothermal heat pump. Cooling degree days (CDD), heating degree days (HDD) and relative humidity were gathered from historical weather data for 12 cities across the contiguous United States [1], [2]. Geothermal heat pump coefficients were generated as inputs to EnergyPlus™ simulation software. These heat pump coefficients are generated by compiling heat pump performance data from 5 market leading, high efficiency residential geothermal heat pump manufacturers. These coefficients can be used to represent a general, market available heat pump in 2-ton, 3-ton, and
