2. Sustainable refurbishment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_refurbishment

   Sustainable refurbishment describes working on existing buildings to improve their environmental performance using sustainable methods and materials. A refurbishment or retrofit is defined as: "any work to a building over and above maintenance to change its capacity, function or performance' in other words, any intervention to adjust, reuse, or upgrade a building to suit new conditions or ...

3. Heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

   Specifically, the heat pump transfers thermal energy using a heat pump and refrigeration cycle, cooling the cool space and warming the warm space. [1] In winter a heat pump can move heat from the cool outdoors to warm a house; the pump may also be designed to move heat from the house to the warmer outdoors in summer.

4. Air source heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_source_heat_pump

   In the UK, annual heat pump sales have steadily grown in recent years with 26,725 heat pumps sold in 2018, a figure which has increased to 60,244 heat pumps sales in 2023. [80] ASHPs can be helped to compete by increasing the price of fossil gas compared to that of electricity and using suitable flexible electricity pricing . [ 19 ]

5. Ground source heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump

   A heat pump in combination with heat and cold storage. A ground source heat pump (also geothermal heat pump) is a heating/cooling system for buildings that use a type of heat pump to transfer heat to or from the ground, taking advantage of the relative constancy of temperatures of the earth through the seasons.

6. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   An air source heat pump can be used to air condition the building during hot weather, and to warm the building using heat extracted from outdoor air in cold weather. Air-source heat pumps are generally uneconomic for outdoor temperatures much below freezing. In colder climates, geothermal heat pumps can be used to extract heat from the ground ...

7. Absorption heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_heat_pump

   The coefficient of performance of the first type absorption heat pump is greater than 1, generally 1.5 to 2.5. [4] The heat pump is composed of the main components such as generators, condenser, evaporator, absorber and heat exchanger, as well as the suction device, shielding pump (solution pump and refrigerant pump), and other auxiliary parts.
