Building electrification is becoming a major approach in fighting climate change and reducing emissions. As electrical generation becomes cleaner with wind, solar, and hydro, building electrification ...

Heat pumps work best when they’re part of a well-prepared home, to be installed when the building envelope is attended to; ...

Colorado has had a number of days when temperatures dropped to negative 15 degrees Fahrenheit or colder in recent years, and ...

Scientists from China have developed a novel optimization method for medium-depth ground source heat pumps, using an improved chaos particle swarm optimization. They coupled it with either a heat ...

Do heat pumps work in large or older homes? We look at what experts say, the real costs involved, and how homeowners are ...

Heat pumps run on electricity instead of gas. They warm buildings by absorbing and amplifying heat from the air, ground, or water. They are widely seen as the best way of cutting emissions of carbon ...

Modern heat pumps are engineered for extreme cold, yet misconceptions persist. Field data and proper system design are changing how contractors approach winter heating solutions.

A group of European scientists has sought to combine PV-thermal (PVT) energy coupled with a heat pump (HP) and borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) for powering an Italian swine farm. “This research ...

The Denver Regional Council of Governments will use a $200 million federal grant to provide incentives for people to replace fossil-fuel-fired heating and cooling with heat pumps.

Heat pumps – heating and cooling systems that run entirely on electricity – have been getting a lot of attention recently. They’ve been called the “most overlooked climate solution” and “an answer to ...

Discover how a solar heat pump system in Australia maximises efficiency. Learn to slash bills and use thermal storage as a ...
