As 80% of energy consumption in the average home is used for heating and hot water alone and it is so important to reduce costs, pressures on building design, operation and performance continue to grow. Today’s trend towards low-energy building or so-called “nearly zero energy buildings” reflects radical changes in the way buildings are being designed and constructed. Heat pumps are part of this.
Heat pumps harvest energy stored in the ground, air or water and use it to deliver an ideal indoor climate for the building. Because no fossil fuels are burned, heat pumps can help you achieve your emission targets.
