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.

Comfort and Climate Box
– Speeding up market development for integrating heat pumps and storage packages Annex 55 aims to accelerate market development of Climate and Comfort box solutions. The technical challenge is the smart combination of different technologies in one system. Specialists from various fields of technology are required, and need to cooperate in order to accelerate product development and market introduction of combined heat pump / storage packages: The Comfort and Climate Box (CCB). The goal...

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...

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.
