ProHeatPump is an Intelligent Energy Europe project with the main objective to promote information and success stories about Ground Source Heat Pumps.
The overall goal of the ProHeatPump project is to contribute to the reduction in the use of fossil fuels for heating purposes. Key objective of the project is to promote energy efficient heat pumps for heating. The project focuses on systems for the residential sector and SMEs, i.e. small to medium size heat pumps and in particular on refurbishment where the needs for promotion is higher then for new buildings. The share of heat pumps and the testing of promotion means for heat pumps in identified target regions shall deliver information on appropriate marketing approaches to promote an extended use of heat. Promotion of heat pumps will be done by the means of improved and steady information on heat pumps of the target groups end users and installers as well as policy makers. Another important project topic is the investigation and evaluation of combinations of heat pumps and renewables.
Expected results of the project are to increase the number of heat pump installations during the project time on selected target areas, to create suitable and practical information material for each target group (installers, end users and policy makers) on the possibilities and the advantages of heating by the means of heat pumps and to improve marketing strategies to promote heat pumps in European countries with low market penetration but high potential for heat pumps. Based on experiences from countries with high market share, Further on favourable conditions for the combination of heat pumps and renewables shall be assessed and documented.
