Unlocking smarter heat pump operations – improve efficiency and cut energy cost
Efforts are being made worldwide to address the environmental challenges we face as a global population. Everyone aims to maximize environmental benefits while still trying to meet or exceed expectations for performance and cost. However, not all decisions are easy—sometimes it feels like being …Alberto Frison
Space requirements for heat pump solutions
The European Renovation Wave is under way, meaning a large number of older heating and cooling units are currently being replaced with modern heat pump solutions with lower climate impact. However, before a unit is replaced there is an important aspect to consider – the available space for a new …Alberto Ferrandi
Heating in one step or two steps?
To do things in one go, sounds so easy. In many cases the results of doing things in one step is equated to doing things in two steps. However, in certain situations or under certain conditions it can be advantageous, and hence preferred, to do things one after the other. A twostep approach can …Alessandro Pinato
Ground source heat pumps – even better with propane
One of the biggest macro-trends with regards to heating in Europe is electrification. During renovations and refurbishments inefficient heaters and aging boilers – which produce CO2-emissions and pollution – are gradually being replaced with more modern solutions, like heat pumps. Now, what if a …Alberto Ferrandi
What you need to know before selecting a heat pump
Just a few years ago, chillers totally dominated the market, while the number of heat pumps sold and installed was low. Today, EU demands, new technology and focus on decreasing fossil fuel dependency has made the market for heat pumps explode. The need for getting rid of gas boilers has opened up …Paolo Dalle Fratte
High temperature heat pumps – the heating solution of the future
The EU – and the world, for that matter – is facing a huge challenge from climate change. In the 2009 climate and energy package based on the Kyoto Protocol, the EU set key targets for 2020: 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels), 20 percent of EU energy from …Alessandro Pinato
Total Equivalent Warming Impact – what you need to know about TEWI and heat pumps
Heating and cooling of buildings account for roughly a third of the European Union’s total energy consumption, and nearly three quarters of the heating still comes from fossil fuels. In other words, to fulfil the EU’s target of zero impact on emissions from the building stock by 2050, it is clear …Alessandro Lora
How green is your heat pump?
Investment in green technology is booming, and sustainable products are in demand. However, it’s challenging to understand which products are best for the environment when everything is promoted as green. This is clear in the heating industry, where pretty much any solutions that are better than a …Alberto Ferrandi
Why you should consider a 4-pipe system for cooling and heating
A traditional two-pipe system for heating and cooling may not be an optimal solution for buildings with mixed usage that combines, for instance, retails, offices and hotels. Besides, the southward side of the building facing the sun might require cooling at the same time that the northward side, in …By topics
