Placement Impact on Heat Pump Acoustics
The Annex aims to focus on the “Placement Impact on Heat Pump Acoustics” but leaves room for special topics of heat pump acoustics covering selected applications and the refinement of methods.

Projects
HPT TCP has been active since 1978, with a lot of collaborative research, development, demonstration and deployment projects. We formerly called these projects "Annexes". They are conducted on a combination of cost sharing and task-sharing basis by the participating countries. Here you can read about the projects that are running right now.

Heat Pumps for Multi-Family Residential Buildings in Cities
This 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.

Acoustic Signature of Heat Pumps
Reduction of acoustic emissions is important to further increase the acceptance of heat pumps as air-to-water, water-to-air, air-to-air and brine-to-water (ground source) units. To increase this acceptance and minimize noise annoyance more focus has to be put on the acoustics emissions at steady state and transient behaviour of acoustic signatures during different operating conditions (e.g. icing, de- frosting, capacity control, cooling mode). The primary aim with Annex 51 is to increase the acceptance of heat...

Heat Pumps in Multi-Family Buildings for space heating and DHW
The overall aim of this Annex is to increase the use of heat pumps in multi-family buildings. The main objectives is therefore to demonstrate possible energy savings and the utilisation of renewable energy by means of heat pumps in buildings retrofitted with heat pumps without improving the building envelope.

Design and integration of heat pumps for nZEB
The dominating concept to reach the zero energy balance over an annual period for a nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) is the combination of a solar PV system and a heat pum. This Annex 49 is a follow-on of the work in Annex 40 on heat pump concepts for nZEB, but the scope is extended from the balance of single buildings to groups of buildings.
