The Average Annual Efficiency calculator was created as a part of the Hybrid 2 Hundred project. It is a flexible modelling tool that simulates year-round hybrid heating system performance in a typical home. Users can test different climate zones, heat pump capacities, back-up heat type, and switch-over temperatures.


The tool estimates COP, energy use, run hours, and GHG emissions, and can be expanded in future projects. The model is based off a 3,000 square foot home with 1980s style building assemblies.
