  2. Heat pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

    In general, heat pumps work most efficiently (that is, the heat output produced for a given energy input) when the difference between the heat source and the heat sink is small. When using a heat pump for space or water heating, therefore, the heat pump will be most efficient in mild conditions, and decline in efficiency on very cold days.

    A vacuum is the best insulator, but its use in clothing is impractical. Dry air is a practical insulator. Extreme cold weather clothing uses still dry air to insulate the body, [2] layers of loose air trapping material are most effective. The inner layers should conduct moisture away from the body.

  8. 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 ...

  9. 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.
