Heat pumps, either air-source or ground source, provide a highly efficient means of delivering space heating and cooling. Typical solutions for retrofiting heat pumps to existing buildings' heating system are often costly and/or limits the effectiveness of the heat pump's ability to deliver heat to the building. The nature of the invention consists of delivering heat pump derived energy to the building through its ventilation system. Specially, heating/cooling coils supplied by the heat pump are installed either in, upstream or downstream of the building's air handling unit(s) (AHUs). The heat pump supplied coils thereby can provide base-level heating to the building via the ventilation air, essentially utilizing the ventilation system as a forced-air heating system. The process of adding heat coils and associated piping loop to the building's ventilation is a relatively minor retrofit, causing limited building disturbance and is an inexpensive retrofit.
