The papers for the 7th March 2024 webinar on the opportunities and challenges of heat pumps in the domestic hosuing market are now available on the IOR website.

The first paper looks at the modelling of the cost, energy supply and carbon emission consequences of increased use of domestic heat pumps as part of the UK 2050 net zero target. The second paper features a case study of a pioneering rural village district heat network using high-temperature ammonia air-to-water and ground-to-water heat pumps to supply heat to 300 buildings including houses, a school, and two churches.
