As Planet Warms, Heat Pumps Get Hotter
The heat pump, an old device dating back to the early 1850s [1], has captured new attention for its potential to help meet climate change goals. Driven in large part by legislated incentives and bans on fossil-fuel heating in a growing number of countries, the heightened interest has also spawned improvements in the technology’s efficiency and cost. Another unique benefit is for one device to provide, depending on seasonal needs, both heating and cooling.
