The Heat Pump Technologies TCP is an international information service for heat pumping technologies, applications and markets.

Executive Committee

Underground insulated district heating and cooling pipes

The goal is to accelerate the implementation of heat pumps and related heat pumping technologies, including air conditioning and refrigeration.

Heat pumping technologies are the cornerstone for a secure, affordable, high-efficiency, clean and netzero emission energy system for heating, cooling and refrigeration. The HPT TCP generates and communicates information, expertise and knowledge related to heat pumping technologies as well as enhances international collaboration.

The HPT TCP Executive Committee Representatives for Ireland are Mr. Peter Kehoe (SEAI) and Dr. Niamh O'Sullivan (SEAI).
