Issue: Heat Pumps

April 2015. This report offers a global performance review for heat pump technology. It compares current research findings with an emphasis on multi-unit residential buildings (MURB). The report was compiled by TAF staff in collaboration with graduate students at Western University.

January 2015. This TAF report, with the support of the Donner Foundation, summarizes the results of several TAF-supported research, analysis and communications projects. The main conclusion is that energy exchange systems – including ground- and air-source heat pumps – are a key and strategic technology to reduce carbon emissions from buildings.
