Celebrating Heat Pump Day

BELGIUM: The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) is promising a wide range of activities to celebrate this year’s Heat Pump Day on October 21.

The EHPA, together with its national heat pump association members and partners, have planned over 60 initiatives across Europe, from in-person events and webinars to factory open days. 

This year, the European Heat Pump Association is celebrating Heat Pump Day through a rather colourful and creative event – the launch of the heating transition colouring book on 22 October. 

Heat pump enthusiasts are invited to share a short video on 21 October about how they became involved with heat pumps — and why they’re celebrating Heat Pump Day. The Heat Pump Voices campaign is intended to showcase the size and diversity of the community, the wide range of career opportunities, and the positive impact of heat pumps on decarbonisation. All participants will automatically be entered into a contest to win a special prize. 

Heat Pump Day was launched by the European Heat Pump Association in 2024 to raise awareness about heat pump technology.
