- Module 2: The behaviour of the heating system. Designing a heating system in a new building with the heat pump in mind.
- Module 3: The behaviour of the heating system. Retrofitting an existing building to accommodate a heat pump as the main source of heating.
- The formulas required to take part in the exercises in modules 2 and 3.
