Best Practice Portal

This activity is aimed at demonstrating the essential benefits of ground-source heat pumps (GSHP) concerning primary energy saving and CO₂ emission reduction in practice and thereby encouraging the market penetration in Europe.

Main purpose of the database is

to provide reliable information on the high energy efficiency and low CO₂ emissions achieved with GSHP in practice
to show the broad range of possible application areas for this sustainable heating/cooling technology all over Europe
to reveal the national and regional differences regarding climate, geology, electricity mix, energy prices etc. and their influence on energy efficiency, economic competitiveness and environmental behaviour
to form the basis for setting up recommendations for a successful design, installation and operation of GSHP systems
