Heat pumps cut costs, boost sustainability in commercial buildings

How heat pump technology and low GWP refrigerants can help commercial building owners/managers/occupiers reduce their energy costs and contribute to their sustainability goals? The decarbonisation of heating in commercial properties in Europe is probably the biggest challenge we face in the transition to net zero. Why? Because most of our heat is produced by burning fossil fuels and 80% of the buildings standing today will still be around in 2050 – meaning they will require some form of retrofit to make them energy efficient and emissions-free in the process of heating them. Building owners (both private and public) have a critical role to play, and understand in equal measure the need to act with urgency to meet Net Zero deadlines, but also the need to act with prudence to ensure the best outcomes for their occupiers whilst protecting the value of the building. In countries where there is a ban for fossil-fuel based gas boilers, the building owners or the companies occupying the buildings are looking at how to decarbonise their heating (as well as cooling means) equipment. With the right refrigerant and heat pump technology, you can reduce the energy costs of the building; avoid the reliance to natural gas supply as well as comply with upcoming regulations; and be more sustainable with lowering carbon emissions. So, what is this technology, and where do we start?
