Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work in the UK?
The simple answer to this question is probably, yes, air source heat pumps do work in the UK. It might be more accurate, however, to say that air source heat pumps can work in the UK. It turns out that not all heat pump installations are equal. Air source heat pumps absorb heat from air outside and deliver heat inside the building via underfloor heating, radiators, convectors etc. You can think ...

Steady versus dynamic exergy analysis: the case of an air source heat pump
Exergy analysis is often performed statically, for given system conditions and reference state. Dynamic exergy analyses, considering the variation of system operation and ambient conditions, would obviously be more time consuming. Therefore comparing the results of the two approaches helps understand when the dynamic methodology should be preferred. In this paper the yearly behaviour of a ...

Heating Electrification: Policies to Drive Ground-Source Heat Pump Adoption
Executive Summary Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are typically the most efficient form of heating and cooling for buildings. For every unit of electricity a GSHP system consumes, it produces roughly 3-4 units of equivalent heat (or cooling), thanks to the solar energy naturally stored underground. Because of these efficiencies, GSHPs can provide significant cost savings in the effort to ...

Using electricity to save the planet
When it comes to energy efficiency, it used to be the big guys that mattered. Policymakers and market leaders focused on manufacturers, refiners and others that gobbled up lots of kilowatt hours.It’s not surprising. Manufacturers create bang for the buck. Better motors, refrigeration or combined heat and power can lead to six-digit dollar savings — far more impressive than the $10 per month an ...
