Main characteristic of the concept<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

One heat pump for space heating (or cooling) for one room of the apartment. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Heat distribution and temperatures levels<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The heat distribution (heating only) occurs exclusively through air.  This also offers the opportunity of providing cooling in summertime. Since it\u2019s a modular and local system, there is no heat distribution throughout the building.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n

Size of building, number of apartments<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Very flexible solution for covering heating (and possible cooling) needs.  Rather not applicable in large buildings. Strong architectural limitation in existing buildings. For new buildings possible integration in the building fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

DHW and storage characteristic<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Separate system is required for DHW.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Energy standard, insulation level <\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

This concept can be used for space heating in buildings with a high or intermediate energy standards. The heating capacity is limited due to the use of relatively small heat pumps units. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Complexity of installation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The complexity of installation is very low for each unit. Usually, no need for leaving the apartment in case of refurbishment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Heat Sources<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

This system uses outside air as a source and will preferably be operated with air as the transfer medium for space heating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Specific issues of the concept<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Heating only. Need for other solution for DHW. Heat distribution occurs exclusively through air. May be noisy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
