An MEP design team is considering two options for heating and cooling a conference

center at a resort hotel. Option A will utilize for heating a boiler $($oil$-$fired$)$ and a chiller

$($electric$-$fired$)$ for cooling. Option B will use heat pumps $($electric$)$ for both heating and

cooling. The conference center peak heat loss is $1,200,000$ BTUh and its peak heat gain is

$800,000$ BTUh. Other information is as follows: $5.)$ An MEP design team is considering two options for heating and cooling a conference center at a resort hotel.
