Detailed project information

The work programme for the ProHeatPump project is divided in seven work packages (WP) each resulting in key deliverables:

1. "Management". Project management will steer the entire project and will especially facilitate communication within the consortium and IEEA. Project meetings will be organised, chaired and documented, communication via email and website will be encouraged and track will be kept of deliverables. Adherence of deadlines and the quality of the project results will be assure.
2. “Market analysis on heat pumps for heating and cooling of buildings”. The market potential for heat pumps will specifically be analysed for buildings constructed from year 1980 on. Focus is laid on ground source heat pumps for the residential sector and for SMEs in the countries Bulgaria, France, Germany and UK. For Bulgaria and France air to water heat pumps will also be considered.
3. “Marketing of RES-Heat”. Experiences with promotion and marketing tools of heat pumps will be analysed and evaluated. The positive impact of heat pump promotion in Sweden will be compared to marketing strategies that have been established in Germany and the UK.
4. “Policy context and measures”. Policy measures related to the promotion of heat pumps and its impact on the heat pump market will be assessed in the partner countries. Additionally, a more detailed assessment will be done for the three countries Sweden, UK and Norway.
5. “Heat pumps and Renewables”. The possibilities to combine heat pumps and Renewables will be analysed. The technical, economic and environmental aspects of combinations will be examined. Information material on win-win combinations for heat pumps and Renewables will be developed.
6. “Dissemination and Communication”. Existing and newly developed information material on heat pumps will be disseminated and communicated to the target groups via workshops/seminars, trade fairs, regional professional associations. The public will be informed on project objectives and results via e.g. press reports and the project website.
7. “Common Dissemination Activities” All members of the project consortium will contribute to the online information systems and web-sites of IEEA, will participate in IEEA events and will deliver common presentation material and media tools.
