Energy efficiency of heat pumps - what is worth knowing?
Heat pumps are, next to photovoltaics, one of the most popular technologies using renewable energy sources. By transferring thermal energy from the so-called “bottom source” - the ground, air or a body of water - it is possible to heat a building at a much lower cost than using classic CO. However, the energy efficiency of a heat pump can vary depending on a whole range of factors. What affects the efficiency of a heat pump and can this parameter be improved?
Carbon Credits – What Is Their Role in Combating Climate Change?
