Project Description
By monitoring, comparing, modelling and analysing the in-use performance of a large sample set of heat pumps (HP) in retrofitted buildings, while also investigating other impacting building parameters, this project will identify optimum operational settings and controls, and return guidance documents for best practice, system sizing and optimum control.Project Details
