Domestic Heat Pump field trials
Project Summary
Problem: Domestic heat pumps are rapidly gaining market share in the UK, but there is little independent evidence of
their performance and carbon saving in real installations.
Solution: This project is measuring the performance of heat pumps in a large sample of UK homes. Factors that affect heat pump performance including system design and user behaviour will be included. The consumer acceptability of heat pumps and their potential in helping to reach UK CO2 reduction targets will be determined.
