leaf house - at the University of Maryland
Skip navigation to main content.Instead of standard air conditioning the house is cooled by a ductless mini-spit system. This system serves as an auxillary heat pump which uses refrigerant lines and a fan to cool or heat the air.
The system runs off of an ozone friendly refrigerant R410a. There are two fans, one on the west facing wall of the mechanical wall and the other on the south facing wall of the kitchen.
