Work Package 5

Defining measures to overcome barriers for broader market penetration and setting up a dissemination plan

WP leader: ECOFYS
Duration: 26 months
Summary: Work packages 2 and 3 of this project have identified the market for ground coupled heat pumps. Pilot projects in the several countries have showed that the realization of this potential is not easy. With the introduction of the heat pump techniques in the housing sector legislative, technical, economic and marketing barriers were met. In this work package we will identify these barriers and provide solutions to overcome these barriers.

  • Subtask 1: Inventory of legislation (Subtask 1a) and barriers and good practices in technical, financial and marketing aspects of ground coupled heat pumps (Subtask 1b). Learn lessons and try to apply them in other countries. Information delivered by the various national participants, coordinated by the WP leader
  • Subtask 2: Proposal for the measures to barriers for a broader market penetration
  • Subtask 3: Formulating a strategic (long term) dissemination plan for a market introduction campaign to realize the market potential
