Air source heat pumps for retrofit in existing buildings
Energy conservation in existing domestic buildings with existing technology and systems is possible by the application of air source heat pumps as add-ons to existing installations, optimising the performance of condensing heating boilers. This is a reliable technology which can be linked to an existing energy infrastructure, whether it is in the Netherlands, France or Germany. If we are to meet the exacting targets for reduction of CO2 and the use of renewable energy, much must be done in this market segment. However, this is possible and realistic with existing technology and knowledge!
