The energy consumption of heat pump systems (heat pumps plus resistance heaters are compared for several different indoor temperature regimes under varied climatic conditions in order to access the energy savings, possible during the heating season. Results of the computer simulation study showed that, compared with a constant 72/sup 0/ indoor temperature setting of thermostats, 68/sup 0/ daytime settings and 68/sup 0/, 60/sup 0/, and 55/sup 0/ night time settings result in 29 to 14%, 40 to 20% and 42 to 22% energy savings, respectively, for climatic conditions typical of Atlanta and Minneapolis.
