Agenda

As the deployment of heat pumps accelerates across Europe, extending the operational lifetime of installed systems through circular practices is becoming an urgent technical and environmental challenge. Moving away from systematic unit replacement requires structured waste streams, reliable testing protocols, and industrial-scale refurbishment strategies. This Deep-Dive Session explores how organizations are moving beyond this systematic unit replacement. The agenda of the session will be the following:
