The University of Illinois Solar Decathlon ADAPTHAUS is making quick progress as the official Solar Decathlon event approaches! With all the windows and doors installed and drywall/paint complete, the HVAC is now up and running (with the CERV as the brains!).
The utility room contains the CERV, 1-ton Mitsubishi PEAD-A12AA7 heat pump, and Beko washer and heat pump dryer!
The CERV and Mitsubishi heat pump are ducted together as described in our "Magic-Box Mechanicals" article.
The Mitsubishi heat pump is controlled by the CERV through our brand-new CERV-IR (Intelligent Relay) Thermostat Controller. The CERV and Mitsubishi seamlessly interface with the CERV-IR, allowing the CERV to use its intelligence to fully manage the home's comfort conditioningWant to learn more about the UofI's ADAPTHAUS?
