elementor-size-default\">This alpine project demonstrates that the transition to renewable heating is possible even in some of the most challenging environments. Located at 1,970 meters above sea level in the Alps, the mountain lodge represents a pioneering example for ski huts, alpine restaurants, and remote hospitality facilities facing increasing pressure to achieve climate targets.\r\nWhat makes this project particularly remarkable is the courage to transform a building originally constructed in 1935, with decades of historically evolved heating infrastructure, into a modern renewable heat pump energy system. Few comparable projects have been realized under such demanding conditions. Rather than discussing what might be possible in the future, this project proves what can be achieved today: we are taking action and leading by example.\r\nThe installation of geothermal energy and two brine-to-water heat pumps demonstrates that heat pump technology is not limited to newly built single-family homes. Even in extreme alpine conditions, heat pumps can provide a reliable, efficient, and sustainable heating solution when properly designed.\r\nAs a result, the project serves as a lighthouse initiative for the entire alpine region, showing owners, operators, and organizations a practical pathway toward decarbonization. It combines innovation, sustainability, and economic viability while inspiring others to follow the same path toward a climate-friendly future.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/awards-projects\/hamburger-hut-ski-lodge\/\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-4611 jet-equal-columns elementor-dcss-1065972583681195\" data-post-id=\"4611\"  >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"3864\" class=\"elementor elementor-3864\" data-elementor-post-type=\"jet-engine\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f428788 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f428788\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3365cb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-terms\" data-id=\"3365cb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jet-listing jet-listing-dynamic-terms\"><div class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms__icon is-svg-icon\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-star\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><span class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms__link\">Building Solutions Award<\/span><span class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms__suffix\"> nominee<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2c2afc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c2c2afc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2086\" src=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01afa-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4167\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01afa-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01afa-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01afa-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01afa-768x626.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01afa-1536x1251.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01afa-2048x1669.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef3b194 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ef3b194\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6dba17 jury-number-field elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f6dba17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">02.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10b4262 voting-number-field elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"10b4262\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">02.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74bf05d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"74bf05d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/awards-projects\/efisa-tower-hybrid-heat-pump-retrofit\/\">EFISA Tower: Hybrid Heat Pump Retrofit  of a 1970s High-Rise Residential  Building in A Coru\u00f1a &#8211;

Not a single \r\nradiator was replaced, not a single day passed without heating or hot water, and the works were completed \r\nwith zero accidents, with residents living in the building throughout.\r\nThe results are measured, not simulated: in its first full year, before any insulation or solar panel was added, \r\nthe heat pump plant cut the building\u2019s energy bill by 42%. The neighbours voted unanimously for it, and every \r\nfamily now pays for the heat it really uses.\r\nThe building also turns sunshine into stored heat: its own solar plant charges a 20,000-litre thermal battery \r\nthat the heat pumps draw on, and its new fa\u00e7ade generates electricity with integrated PV glass.\r\nAnd a cool fact: the towers stand on the site where Estrella Galicia brewed

Heat pumps provide heating and cooling, underfloor heating delivers silent radiant comfort, and surplus heat that would otherwise be wasted is recovered for domestic hot water. Airzone coordinates these systems from a single control environment, down to individual guest-room level.\r\nWhat makes the project particularly compelling is that the technology is almost invisible. Guests experience a historic countryside hotel rather than a technical installation, while behind the scenes the building continuously coordinates different HVAC systems to use energy more intelligently.\r\nLa Dehesa de Don Pedro demonstrates a highly replicable principle for Europe\u2019s renovation challenge: historic and character buildings can retain their identity while adopting smart, efficient heat pump solutions capable of meeting modern expectations for comfort and sustainability.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf

Open a kitchen drawer and you pull on an old fire hose. The walls are made of hemp. And the heat comes from 180 metres of boreholes beneath a small city plot. These are not separate sustainability gestures \u2014 they form one building concept.\r\n\r\nThe Hanfhaus shows that a heat pump project does not have to be a compromise. Its heat pump connects local ground heat with solar electricity, battery storage and forecast-informed thermal charging. Across 112 selected, fully recorded days between April and August, the house drew just 29 kWh from the grid while producing more than three times the electricity it consumed. These are spring\u2013summer results, not annual performance. The first winter is still ahead, and we will share those results just as openly.\r\n\r\nLow-tech materials, high-efficiency geothermal heat and real measured data: the Hanfhaus shows what the heating transition can look like at the scale of a family home \u2014 beautiful, circular and built with technology available today.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

the Enghusene housing cooperative took the lead. With no turnkey offer on the market, their climate working group took the project forward, the members approved it democratically, and the cooperative acted as client for separate contracts. As a result, a municipal meadow now heats 20 homes and a communal building, and gas combustion has ended.\r\n\r\nThree things stand out:\r\n\r\n- The cooperative's site was too small for a ground collector. This was solved in cooperation with Ringsted Municipality, which made an adjacent meadow available under a registered easement.\r\n\r\n- Distribution now brings a net heat gain. With a heat pump in each dwelling, the thermonet operates near ground temperature, at 2-10\u00b0C, and gains heat from the soil where the old insulated pipes from the the central gas boiler would have lost heat. \r\n\r\n- The established thermonet opens a trajectory towards heating, and potentially cooling, based on locally produced renewable energy, with rooftop solar PV, batteries and communal smart control as possible next steps.\r\n\r\nEnghusene shows how terraced houses and rural residential areas can move from gas to heat pumps and a thermonet providing geothermal heating and potentially cooling. The project combines a technically mature and an organizational innovative approach, and housing cooperatives and cohousing communities across Europe can replicate both.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\"

challenging district-heated multi-family housing sector does not have to be slow, invasive, or costly.\r\n\r\nSurprising symbiosis: Rather than treating the heat pump as competition for the district heating network, we built a system in which both technologies work together - the heat pump takes over the cost-effective base load, while the network remains the guarantor of peak demand and comfort.\r\nInnovation in orchestration, not in the device: The project's true value lies not in a single heat pump, but in the proprietary EMS, which reconciles PV production, energy storage status, outdoor temperature, forecasted COP, and electricity and heat prices in real time - with the EMS architecture also enabling operation under variable-price (dynamic) tariffs - always selecting the cheapest and most efficient source.\r\nConvincing market validation: This is not a concept on paper - following the successful pilot, the investor ordered an identical system for two further buildings, and the solution is already operating in several dozen buildings across northern Poland.\r\nHard numbers and scalability: -41% in the total cost of DHW (from PLN 36.35 to PLN 21.48\/m\u00b3) and 15.01 fewer tonnes of CO2 per year in a single building - with a technical replication potential reaching approximately 250,000 multi-family buildings in Poland, representing nearly 5 GW of heating capacity and an estimated 2.9 million tonnes of CO2 avoided annually nationwide (based on national average emission factors for district heat and grid electricity).<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\"

thermal ecosystem. It simultaneously requires large amounts of heating and cooling, yet instead of treating these as separate demands, the project connects them through a geothermal energy hub. \r\n\r\nThe most striking feature is the High Temperature Recovery system in-built in the heat pump: heat extracted from cooling the fitness areas can be reused for swimming-pool heating and DHW instead of being rejected outdoors. The project also recovers heat from humid swimming-pool air and from ventilation, while photovoltaic electricity can be converted into stored thermal energy in the building's water tanks. \r\n\r\nIn other words, the building does not simply generate renewable energy; it continually recovers, reuses and stores energy that would otherwise be wasted. \r\n\r\nWith a COP of 4.5, 133,208 kWh\/year of estimated photovoltaic generation, 222,458 kWh\/year of estimated total electricity savings and approximately 29.5 tonnes of CO\u2082 avoided annually, Asc\u00f3 demonstrates how a complex public sports facility can combine comfort, resilience and energy efficiency in one integrated solution. <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf

deliver tangible benefits for both people and the environment. Serving a 150-resident nursing home, the system improves comfort, reduces emissions, enhances local air quality, and creates a healthier living environment.\r\nDuring the coldest winter periods (around \u221215\u00b0C), the previous biomass boiler consumed approximately 40-60 m\u00b3 of wood per week, at a cost of \u20ac10,000-11,000 per week. The new Panasonic Aquarea T-CAP heat pump system is expected to replace around 70-75% of this fuel consumption. Even in the coldest conditions, heat pump operation is expected to be more economical than wood firing, while in milder weather, when COP exceeds 2-3, operating costs can be reduced by up to 50-75%.\r\nThe project also eliminates much of the wood storage, handling, and transport workload, while significantly reducing local combustion-related emissions. In addition, the site's wellness facilities are open to external visitors, meaning the benefits of renewable energy, cleaner air, and lower environmental impact extend beyond residents to the wider community.\r\nTechnically, the installation showcases Panasonic Aquarea Big M T-CAP R290, a leading high-end heat pump solution. Its patented T-CAP technology maintains reliable high-temperature heating even in extreme winter conditions, demonstrating how renewable energy can successfully decarbonize demanding district heating applications while delivering environmental, social, and economic value.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget

and become a practical solution for entire communities. It combines climate-neutral heating and cooling, renewable electricity, energy storage and smart energy management within a real mixed-use district under development in Melk.\r\nWhat makes the project particularly compelling is that it is not a theoretical concept. The technologies are being developed, implemented and validated under real operating conditions as part of the transformation of a former industrial site into a sustainable and future-ready neighborhood. The project also creates value beyond energy efficiency. It supports the principles of the New European Bauhaus by combining environmental sustainability, long-term economic viability and social value within one integrated development.\r\nMost importantly, the project is designed to be replicated. If successful, the concept can provide a blueprint for future districts across Europe and demonstrate how renewable energy, flexibility and community-oriented development can work together in practice. <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\"

people founded the energy cooperative Ecopower around a kitchen table in this mill. Today Ecopower has more than 73,000 members, and the mill where it started heats itself entirely from the river that flows beneath it.\r\n\r\nThe same river turns the turbine that powers the heat pumps and provides the heat they upgrade. Even the waste heat of the turbine\u2019s generator and gearbox is recovered. River, mill and heat network work together as one closed local energy loop, with no fossil fuel, no grid dependency for the heat and nothing visible on a heritage site.\r\n\r\nIt proves that aquathermal heat pumps can decarbonise the existing buildings that are hardest to reach, collectively and owned by citizens. Europe has thousands of mills, moats and riverside communities that could follow.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget

still be held up by one unanswered technical question. When that question reaches the manufacturer, it often joins a queue for the same small group of experts.\r\n\r\nThis project addresses that everyday constraint on heat pump deployment. At Solvis, installers can consult the manufacturer\u2019s knowledge directly. At Inventum, service and sales teams can use that knowledge while speaking with customers. The work has already supported thousands of installer questions, and Inventum\u2019s evaluation indicates substantial potential to release expert time.\r\n\r\nThe innovation also extends beyond answering the immediate question. When the documentation falls short, the question reveals what needs to be improved. Specialists can capture the missing explanation so that the next colleague or installer benefits from it.\r\n\r\nTwo manufacturers in different countries demonstrate how this approach can serve both internal support teams and external installer networks. It starts with documentation manufacturers already possess and improves through the questions people ask.\r\n\r\nThe wider impact is on Europe's energy transition. According to the European Commission, an estimated 750,000 additional installers are needed to scale heat pump deployment and meet the EU's 2030 climate goals, while at least 50% of existing installers will need reskilling. Against this enormous workforce challenge, making better use of existing expertise is just as important as training new professionals. By reducing time lost searching for information, avoiding unnecessary support calls and helping installers resolve problems faster, Chapter enables the existing workforce to work more efficiently and support more heat pump installations. This helps ease pressure on an already stretched sector and removes a practical bottleneck to the electrification of heating.\r\n\r\nChapter deserves recognition for making specialist knowledge more accessible and reusable across the heat pump service chain. By helping the people already working in the sector do more with their time and expertise, Chapter contributes to accelerating the energy transition without placing even greater demands on an already constrained workforce.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/awards-projects\/making-heat-pump-expertise-accessible-at-oems\/\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"jet-listing-grid__item jet-listing-dynamic-post-4551 jet-equal-columns elementor-dcss-1065973147614487\" data-post-id=\"4551\"  >\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"jet-listing-items\" data-elementor-id=\"3864\" class=\"elementor elementor-3864\" data-elementor-post-type=\"jet-engine\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f428788 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f428788\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3365cb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-terms\" data-id=\"3365cb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jet-listing jet-listing-dynamic-terms\"><div class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms__icon is-svg-icon\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-star\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><span class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms__link\">Innovation Award<\/span><span class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-terms__suffix\"> nominee<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2c2afc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c2c2afc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3159-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4555\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3159-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3159-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3159-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3159-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3159-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3159-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef3b194 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ef3b194\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6dba17 jury-number-field elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f6dba17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">03.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10b4262 voting-number-field elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"10b4262\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">20.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74bf05d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"74bf05d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/heatpumpforum\/awards-projects\/innovative-combined-hvac-dhw-all-electric-solution\/\">Innovative Combined HVAC &#038;

This unusually broad operating range allows ventilation air already required for healthy indoor conditions to become the building\u2019s heating and cooling distribution system.\r\nInstead of adding equipment, CAD asks how much can be removed.\r\nBut the project is also designed to answer a bigger question: how much HVAC capacity do ultra-low-energy buildings actually need?\r\nFive Canadian pilot buildings are becoming living laboratories. For two years, heat meters, electrical circuit monitors, indoor and duct sensors, airflow operating data and on-site weather stations will measure what is happening inside the buildings, how the systems respond, and the real outdoor conditions driving those loads.\r\nThis creates something still lacking in Canada: detailed real-world data connecting weather, occupancy-related internal loads, HVAC operation and actual heating and cooling loads in Passive House buildings.\r\nThis project therefore combines heat-pump innovation with evidence\u2014not just demonstrating a new system, but generating the knowledge needed to design simpler, smaller and more affordable heat-pump-based mechanical systems at scale.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

configuration. This solution has decarbonized the building\u2019s heating system while providing a more cost-effective heating solution. Thanks to the T-CAP technology (wich maintain heating even with low temperatures outside), residents\u2019 comfort has also been significantly improved. The ageing hydraulic system meant that heating performance was less effective in the apartments located on the upper floors. Now, even tenants living on the fifth floor benefit from efficient and comfortable heating.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget

At Intergas, efficiency has always been part of our DNA. We became a market leader by developing some of the most innovative and efficient gas-fired boilers in Europe. Today, we are applying that same drive for innovation to heat pumps.\r\n\r\nThe challenge, however, has changed. In the past, efficiency was about reducing energy consumption. Today, it is increasingly about making the smartest use of scarce grid capacity. DACS-HW proves that the next generation of heat pumps can do more than heat homes efficiently; they can actively support the electricity system.\r\n\r\nIn the age of electrification, the most efficient heat pump is not the one that consumes the least electricity, but the one that creates the most value from every kilowatt available. DACS-HW makes that vision a reality.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\"

a mature and reliable technology\u2014the heat pump\u2014with thermal resources already available within cities.\r\n\r\nIts main innovation lies in using existing urban infrastructure without affecting its original function, reducing the need for major new infrastructure and limiting additional investment. In Valencia, the project demonstrates this concept by using a secondary non-potable water network as a heat source and sink.\r\n\r\nThe same approach can be extended to other water-related urban infrastructures, providing cities with a practical, low-impact and highly replicable pathway for the energy transition.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

project special is that an existing high-temperature residential building was\r\ndecarbonised without replacing its radiators, without rebuilding the hydronic heating system,\r\nand without installing a new low-temperature distribution system.\r\nThe NIK Systems transcritical CO\u2082 heat pump was integrated in parallel with the existing gas\r\nboilers. Since commissioning, the gas boilers have not been required for normal operation.\r\nThe system supplies approximately 70\u201380\u00b0C water for space heating and domestic hot water.\r\nThis represents an extremely demanding operating condition for a heat pump and, in\r\nparticular, for a transcritical CO\u2082 system, because very high supply and return water\r\ntemperatures normally make it extremely difficult to maintain high efficiency.\r\nWhat is especially important is that the high COP was achieved specifically at these\r\ndemanding high-temperature operating points. During recent optimised operation, the\r\nsystem demonstrated COP values reaching approximately 4.5 while operating with very high\r\nsupply and return water temperatures.\r\nThis result demonstrates the effectiveness of NIK Systems\u2019 proprietary transcritical CO\u2082\r\nsystem architecture and control strategy, and shows that R744 can be used not only for\r\ndomestic hot water, but also for highly efficient high-temperature space heating in existing\r\nbuildings.\r\nThe project therefore challenges the common assumption that existing buildings with high-temperature heating require major renovation or complete conversion to low-temperature\r\nheating before fossil-fuel boilers can be replaced by heat pumps.\r\nUsing natural refrigerant R744, the project demonstrates a practical and scalable pathway for\r\ndecarbonising a large part of Europe\u2019s existing high-temperature building stock<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf

systems integrate into residential spaces. The project addresses two key challenges: reducing energy consumption and CO\u2082 emissions, while overcoming the space and visual impact of conventional hot water systems, especially in modern and historic buildings where outdoor units may be restricted.\r\n\r\nSTORO combines an R290 double-duct heat pump with a Phase Change Material (PCM thermal battery, achieving high energy density in a compact footprint comparable to a standard dishwasher. Measuring 595 \u00d7 550 \u00d7 850 mm, it can be fully integrated into standard kitchen cabinetry or installed as a free-standing unit. By comparison, a conventional heat pump water heater providing a similar amount of hot water typically uses around 300 litres of storage and can be approximately 1.70 m high.\r\n\r\nThe PCM storage enables 230 L of mixed hot water (V40), with target Class A+ efficiency and a nominal COP target of 3.1. Smart Grid and photovoltaic optimization functions use the\r\nPCM as a thermal battery, storing renewable energy for later use and reducing grid consumption. Multiple air-source configurations increase installation flexibility and energy efficiency. STORO\r\ntransforms the heat pump water heater from a conventional technical component into a compact, connected and sustainable household appliance designed to integrate naturally into the home.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\"

At BASF\u2019s Ludwigshafen site, GKT is delivering a turnkey large-scale heat pump system that converts waste heat from a steam cracker into carbon-free process steam.\r\n\r\nWith up to 47 MW thermal capacity, 60 metric tons of steam per hour and an 11-stage compressor system, it will rank among the world\u2019s most powerful industrial heat pumps of its kind.\r\n\r\nPowered by renewable electricity, the system is expected to avoid up to 100,000 metric tons of CO\u2082 emissions per year and provide approximately 7% of the site\u2019s steam demand \u2013 demonstrating industrial

Under the EU Horizon Europe project SPIRIT, a first-of-a-kind 4 MW high-temperature heat pump (HTHP) was developed by GEA and integrated into Tiense Suikerraffinaderij in Tienen, Belgium. The heat pump uses the natural refrigerant n-Pentane (R-601), which is a hydrocarbon with a GWP &lt; 1, and recovers low-grade vacuum vapor at around 75 \u00b0C from the final evaporation effects and upgrades it into process steam at 115 \u00b0C - 140 \u00b0C (verified up to 150 \u00b0C) directly for the primary evaporation effect. Through demonstration in a real industrial environment the novel heat pump has proven the potential for enhancing energy efficiency and accelerating industrial decarbonization by using advanced heat pump solutions.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\"

viable, and that heat pump solutions are already meeting the needs of demanding industrial applications, not just of building environment. \r\nWhat makes it especially compelling is the innovative partnership between multiple stakeholders to deliver a modular, pre-fabricated plug &amp; play heat pump installation, using digital photography and 3D modelling. This model can be truly transformative and help energy-intense industries to decarbonise and modernize their heating and cooling installation without impacting manufacturing productivity. The modular approach also allows manufacturers to either build in operational redundancy, or expand capacity as needed. \r\n\r\nThe project proves that companies in energy-intensive sectors can replace oil-based heating with modern heat pump solutions without compromising reliability, productivity, or operational quality.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

the largest heat pump in the Netherlands at the Utrecht sewage plant in Overvecht. \r\nEvery day, about 65 million litres of wastewater are treated at the plant, and the treated water stays at 12 \u00b0C or more even in winter. A heat exchanger draws heat from it, and the heat pump lifts the temperature to 75 \u00b0C or more for the district heating grid.\r\nThe plant delivers about 27 MW, supplies roughly 20,000 households in Utrecht and Nieuwegein, and covers about 15% of the network's heat demand. It saves around 30,000 tonnes of CO\u2082 per year.\r\nLocated in the middle of a residential area, close to an existing heat transfer station, the plant loses little heat on the way. It makes the oldest district heating network in the Netherlands, more than 100 years old, more sustainable. The cooperation between a utility and a water authority sharing one site is a model for other cities.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf

pump at the Dradenau sewage plant. Four 15 MW turbo-compressor units deliver 60 MW of thermal output, withdrawing heat from treated wastewater that stays at 18-12 \u00b0C or more less all year. The water is heated to about 95 \u00b0C and fed straight into Hamburg's district heating grid.\r\nThe plant can supply up to 39,000 households and save up to 90,000 tonnes of CO\u2082 per year by replacing fossil-generated heat. It is a key module of the Energiepark Hafen to make Hamburg's heating coal-free by 2030.\r\nThe project also created a showcase for others. Hamburg's years of advocacy changed the German CHP Act so that wastewater heat is treated as an environmental heat source, opening funding for similar plants across Germany.

It is the world\u2019s largest steam-generating heat pump in operation and a true first-of-a-kind installation, combining a large hydrocarbon-cycle heat pump and a steam compressor in a novel series configuration capable of achieving steam conditions that neither technology could reach independently. The system uses natural refrigerant R600a (isobutane), with very low environmental impact (GWP 3, ODP 0), and a highly customized thermodynamic cycle optimized for high-temperature steam production.\r\nBeyond its innovative design, the plant has exceeded its contractual performance guarantees, achieving COP values above target and steam production up to 20 t\/h. It has demonstrated exceptional operational flexibility, including rapid warm restarts within minutes and the ability to withstand major process disturbances, such as a 40% drop in thermal output during a paper break, without tripping. The project also delivers tangible environmental and operational benefits, avoiding approximately 19,000 tonnes of CO\u2082 emissions per year, achieving 98.3% technical availability, and fully electrifying steam generation under normal operation. Furthermore, it was successfully retrofitted into a paper mill with limited installation space, demonstrating the flexibility of large-scale heat pump solutions even where space availability is limited.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"045dfaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\"

data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Everyone assumes industrial drying is too hot and too dirty for heat pumps. The evidence\r\nsays the sector agrees: IEA HPT Annex 59, led by RISE, surveyed 230 Swedish industries\r\nand found exactly one respondent in 71 using a heat pump for anything beyond heating\r\nsanitary water. An entire process class, consuming 13 to 35 TWh a year in Sweden alone,\r\nhas been written off.\r\nMVR4G-DRY proves the assumption wrong, and it does so using the fuel that was there all\r\nalong. Every gypsum board dryer already generates the working fluid its own heat pump\r\nneeds, as vapour evaporated from the boards and vented up the stack. Seven steam\r\ncompressors in series refuse to let it leave, recompressing it to 210\u00b0C at a lift of 160\u00b0C.\r\nIndustrial MVR systems typically reach 140 to 180\u00b0C with lifts of 40 to 100\u00b0C, so this sits well\r\noutside what the technology is currently assumed capable of, with water and n-pentane as\r\nthe only working fluids and no PFAS anywhere in the system.\r\nThe surprising part is the scale of what one machine does. Replacing a single gas burner on\r\na single production line removes 16,000 tonnes of CO2 per year and delivers 0.45% of\r\nSweden's entire 2030 emission reduction target. Specific energy consumption halves, from\r\n0.778 to below 0.389 kWh per kg of water evaporated. At the 2024 carbon tax rate, that one\r\nline is worth MSEK 23 a year in avoided tax alone.\r\nIt is also a genuine commitment rather than a subsidised experiment. Of the MSEK 204 total,\r\nindustry is funding MSEK 145. Knauf is putting a 10.5 MWth prototype into a working plant\r\nwhere board quality depends on the drying curve holding steady and where the line cannot\r\nsimply be stopped. That is what makes the result credible to the next plant owner, in\r\ngypsum, dairy, wastewater or timber.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf

Demonstration 1 is a full-scale industrial high-temperature heat pump installation at\r\nthe Stella Polaris shrimp processing facility in Finnsnes, Norway. The plant requires\r\nrefrigeration for freezing and steam for cooking. Previously, waste heat from the ammonia\r\nrefrigeration system was rejected to seawater, while steam was produced by a propane\r\nboiler.\r\nThe project connects these two energy demands through a Mayekawa cascade heat pump\r\nthat upgrades waste heat from approximately 18-21\u00b0C to saturated steam at 145\u00b0C and\r\naround 4 bar(a). With a capacity of approximately 700 kWth, the system is designed to cover\r\nthe full steam demand of the shrimp cooking process under normal operating conditions.\r\nTo achieve a temperature lift exceeding 130 K, the system combines an ammonia bottom\r\ncycle with a pentane top cycle. This innovative configuration enables direct high-temperature\r\nsteam generation while using industrial waste heat as the primary energy source.\r\nThe installation demonstrates industrial electrification, waste heat recovery, and high-temperature heat pump technology in a real production environment. The system has been\r\ncommissioned successfully, produces steam on site, and is now operated by Stella Polaris\r\nwith remote support from Mayekawa, demonstrating a successful transition from\r\ndemonstration project to industrial adoption.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045dfaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"

In order to overcome the temperature lift of over 80K a\r\ncascaded heat pump solution with two parallel compressors in each refrigerant circuit has been designed,\r\nmanufactured and successfully implemented as a container solution on the premises of Felix Schoeller.\r\nIn comparison to other HTHP installations in the industry the double stage HP in Wei\u00dfenborn is using a\r\nvolatile heat source with temperature variations from 30\u00b0C to 70\u00b0C. Along the direct integration of the\r\ngenerated steam into the low-pressure drying section of the facility the volatility of the heat source\r\nhighlights another challenge for a successful
