Dear Jane Metcalf
Could you please send me some information on heating systems for an all-electric, energy-efficient, middle-priced house that our systems design class at the University of Dayton is designing. The house, which contains 2,000 square feet of living space (17,600 cubic feet), meets all the requirements stipulated in your brochure “Insulating for Efficiency.” We need the following information:
- The proper size heat pump to use in this climate for such a home;
- The wattage of the supplemental electrical furnace that would be required for this climate; and
- The estimated power consumption, and current rates, of these units for one year.
We will be happy to send you a copy of our preliminary design report. Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Kathryn J. Parsons
