The Fort Sam Houston (San Antonio, Texas) New Technology Demonstration Program (NTDP) project is a field evaluation of a 3-ton gas-engine-driven residential heat pump. Comparative energy-performance results for the gas heat pump (GHP) and three other air-conditioner/furnace systems are presented from the San Antonio field testing. These energy results form the basis for a life-cycle cost comparison between the gas heat pump and other commercially available air-conditioner/furnace systems. A life-cycle cost analysis is presented for the GHP at Fort Sam Houston and is also projected to five other federal sites.
