A comparative life cycle assessment of a cascade heat pump and a natural gas furnace for residential heating purposes

Abstract: A cascade heat pump is proposed as an environmentally friendly alternative to natural gas heating systems used for space heating in the residential sector. A comparative life cycle assessment of a natural gas furnace and a cascade heat pump was conducted to show the reductions in environmental impacts, such as global warming potential, energy used, and cost savings. The analysis used environmental data from 2020 for Toronto, Ontario, Engineering Equation Solver, and Sustainable Minds. The results of this compa… Show more
