 This is Nate Adams with energy smart home performance and you're looking at an infrared at a heated floor in the basement of a Deep energy retrofit that I worked on. It's called the treehouse at Hiram College These warm lines up there. That's the refrigerant lines from the mini split going upstairs to heat it But I wanted to show you an infrared anyway, how the system works So right here is the water heater. This is actually a heat pump water heater, which uses electricity And pulls the heat out of the area that it's in which is a little bit tricky here Because if you're trying to pull the heat out that it's putting in it doesn't necessarily work out And we tried it out with just straight heat pump and it fell behind so it does need some resistance to Actually keep it heated in the basement, but If you see this thing on the wall that's warm right there, so it's showing about 91 That is the heat transfer so This right here is where the heat is coming in from the water heater and then it comes through and it goes to here Which goes to the floor so you can't mix Potable or drinkable water along with water from the floor system So this is where the transfer takes place and then the cold water comes back from the floor here and out of the That the heat transfer unit here on this pipe So you note up here This is not very accurate really because I'm trying to pull off of a metal which doesn't read well, but that's showing about 87 and That about jives With what I'm feeling so it's it's warm, but it's not super warm. So maybe it's 95 Something along those lines actually in there you go. You're seeing the 95 there And then it's transferring to this pipe at around 80 degrees 77 78 and then when it comes back it's coming back at That that feels about right because it feels cool So coming back in the mid 60s, and then it's coming out of the heat transfer at 70 ish so all these temperatures are probably off by a little bit, but it's it's at least an idea of what's going on But this system works really nicely the basement stays nice and cozy It used to be in the 50s down here in the winter and now it's no problem at all to keep it in the 70 range So There was an idea that initially I wasn't super enthused about I would have preferred to just put a mini-split head down here But this ended up working out really quite well So I have to get the energy monitor working and figure out exactly how much juice it takes to do this And I'll understand more. Thanks for watching You
