CSA C448 SERIES-02-CAN/CSA Document Information:
Title
Design and Installation of Earth Energy Systems
CSA Standards
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2002
Scope:
This Standard applies to direct-expansion ground-source heat
pumps and unitary single-package or split-system liquid-source and
ground-source heat pumps using groundwater, submerged heat
exchangers, or ground-heat exchangers as a thermal source or sink
for heating and/or cooling, with or without a supplementary heating
source.
This Standard applies to new and retrofit installations.
This Standard covers minimum requirements for equipment and
material selection, site survey, system design, installation,
testing and verification, documentation, and commissioning and
decommissioning.
This Standard does not apply to standing-column-well earth
energy systems.
For DX systems, references to water and/or antifreeze in this
Standard do not apply because DX systems do not use water or
antifreeze.
The values given in SI (metric) units are the standard. The
values given in parentheses are for information only.
In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, ie,
a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply
with the Standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or
that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to
express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of
the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include
requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note
accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or
informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered
part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.
Legends to equations and figures are considered requirements.
