The thermal performance of a new two-stage variable capacity air source heat pump (ASHP) and a horizontal ground loop ground source heat pump (GSHP) was investigated side-by-side at the Archetype Sustainable Twin Houses located in Toronto, Canada. The heat pumps were tested in cooling mode, as well as heating mode under extreme winter conditions. In cooling mode, the ASHP COP ranged from 4.7 to 5.7 at an outdoor temperature of 33 degrees C and 16 degrees C respectively, while the GSHP COP ranged from 4.9 (at an ELT of 8.5 degrees C and EST of 19.2 degrees C) to 5.6 (at an ELT of 12. 4 degrees C and EST of 17.8 degrees C). In heating mode, the ASHP COP ranged from 1.79 to 5.0 at an outdoor temperature of -19 degrees C and 9 degrees C respectively, while the GSHP COP ranged from 3.05 (at an ELT of 44.4 degrees C and an EST of 2.7 degrees C) to 3.44 (at an ELT of 41.5 degrees C and an EST of 5.48 degrees C) during the earlier winter test period. Data extrapolation and energy simulation was also performed to predict annual heat pump performance in Toronto as well as other Canadian regions.

A solar assisted air source heat pump (SAASHP) system is proposed to improve heating performance of air source heat pump (ASHP).The proposed system has been applied in two buildings, a series of experimental investigations were conducted in the both applications, it indicated that the SAASHP system gets better heating performance than ASHP system, the coefficient of performance (COP) gets 10% and 65% increase respectively in two applications. It is also concluded that the ratio of solar collector area to construction area significantly affects the improvement of heating performance in SAASHP system. This work may promote further research and more applications of SAASHP system.
