Orion Pemberton

Orion will use the sun’s energy and an air sourced heat pump for primary heat with small baseboard heaters with digital thermostats as backup heat for only the coldest days of the year.Orion will have an energy efficient air-sourced heat pump Air Conditioning unit supplying the ventilation air with cooling in the hot days of summer. There will be a flush mode where during the cooler nights the ventilation will supply cool air with no additional cooling or energy added.Hot water will be provided by a SunPump system. SunPump comes from a Canadian company based in Surrey. It will operate as a normal heat pump at night, but during the day when the sun is shining it will dramatically increase in efficiency. Every watt of electricity will generate a larger number of watts of hot water depending on the sunshine and outdoor temperature. The more sunshine the larger the multiplier.  More at http://orionpemberton.com
