The suitability of reversible air-to-air heat pumps for UK domestic use

Detailed modelling assessing energy performance, cost, and overall suitability of reversible airtoair heat pumps in a range of UK home archetypes and scenarios.

The suitability of reversible air-to-air heat pumps for UK domestic use: report

Details

This modelling research analyses how reversible airtoair heat pumps perform in different types of UK homes; including their energy use, running costs, and ability to provide heating, cooling, and hot water under a range of scenarios. 

It is intended for policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders interested in lowcarbon heating, and explains where these systems may be suitable, their benefits (such as cooling), and limitations.
