Webinar showcases top heat pump projects

BELGIUM: The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) is to present a series of webinars showcasing top heat pump projects.

The webinar series will be dedicated to presenting the best practices from the Heat Pump City of the Year award (HPCY) and EU projects that promote innovative solutions for the decarbonisation of the heating and cooling sector in Europe.

The HPCY, launched in 2011, is a project of EHPA that rewards every year the best solutions in decarbonising the building and the industrial sector, the most innovative heat pump solution and the most active city. Until now, the project received more than 100 applications from all around Europe and awarded 15 best examples.

The first webinar on October 2 will showcase three winning projects that participated over the years in a category of the HPCY awards and developed smart solutions for apartments, social houses and public buildings. The three projects use heat pumps in combination with other renewable technologies, to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions and increase thermal comfort.

The webinar will also explain the Heat4Cool project, an EU H2020 funded project which is implementing a combination of six technologies in four different European climates, in three residential buildings (Poland, Spain, Bulgaria) and a district heating application in Budapest, Hungary.
