Air source heat pumps are increasingly being seen as a key technology for homes in the energy transition. But large scale rollout of heat pumps in an owner occupier context in the UK is relatively rare.
In this webinar designed for policy makers, practitioners, designers and installers, Paul Kenny of Tipperary Energy Agency and Superhomes discusses the lessons learnt from their Irish roll out programme. The webinar will include an assessment of performance data which forms part of the Superhomes 2.0 evaluation conducted with Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT).
Paul will also be discussing Tipperary Energy Agency’s new distance learning module on heat pumps that he has authored.
