HPT TCP New Projects

Annex 62 "Heat pumps for multi-family residential buildings in cities"

HPT TCP is very happy to announce that the new project Annex 62, "Heat pumps for multi-family residential buildings in cities”, has been launched. There is no doubt about the necessity to act decisively to reduce the future impact of the climate change by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. A major solution to preventing CO2 emissions in the heating and cooling sector is to use heat pumps instead of technologies based on fossil fuels. Annex 62 build further on the results achieved in the Annex 50, "Heat Pumps in Multi-Family Buildings for Space Heating and DHW".

Scope

The new Annex will focus on heat pump solutions for multi-family houses in high-density cities. With respect to the demand of the participating countries, new buildings and retrofit will be considered, as well as buildings with higher specific heating demand.

There is still time to join the project. For information on how to participate, contact operating agent Marek Miara: marek.miara@ise.fraunhofer.de

Annex 63 "Placement Impact on Heat Pump Acoustics"

HPT TCP is pleased to announce that Annex 63, “Placement Impact on Heat Pump Acoustics” is being launched. The new Annex 63 has been set up as a follow-up to the recently finalized Annex 51, “Acoustic Signatures of Heat Pumps”. Noise emissions are a potential threat to further spreading of heat pumps in the years to come. Thus, working on the acceptance of heat pumps by minimizing these adverse environmental impacts while keeping high energy efficiency is of great importance. Annex 63 enriches independent information and expertise on the benefits of heat pumping technologies by focusing on the field of acoustics.

Scope

• Building Acoustics Impact of Heat Pumps
