Energy-saving heat pumps and underfloor heating: Design, installation and space considerations

With the built environment contributing approximately 40% of annual global emissions, it is important for architects, designers and specifiers to take advantage of all available energy-saving opportunities when designing and constructing buildings. Heat pumps are thought to be the future of domestic heating because they are a cleaner, more sustainable heat source than most alternatives. Combining a heat pump with hydronic underfloor heating can provide unmatched comfort while minimising energy consumption. However, as with many energy-saving technologies, their benefits can only be realised if they are considered early in a building's design.

Energy-saving heat pumps and underfloor heating: Design, installation and space considerations explores the design and installation considerations involved with energy-saving heat pumps and underfloor heating. We look at the relationship between heat pumps and underfloor heating, and why they are a particularly energy-efficient space heating solution when used in combination. We also explain how heat pumps work and the design and installation considerations when specifying a heat pump.
