scope:

NOTE:

This guide specification covers the requirements for water source heat pump systems and ground source closed-loop heat pump systems.

This specification is based on two contract approaches for providing these systems: separate design and contractor installed systems (Design-Bid-Build) and contractor design and installed systems (Design-Build or performance based contracting). The designer selects required preference for the contract approach. Contractor design and install is limited to ground source closed-loop heat pump systems.
