Annex 61 evaluates the role of heat pumps (HP) in PlusEnergy neighbourhoods. The efficiency potential of electrical and thermal energy that can be realised through the use of heat pumps is evaluated with regard to a positive energy balance. This relates both to the valorisation of waste heat and to the simultaneous generation of different energy uses (space heating, hot water, room cooling/dehumidification) and includes the self-consumption of renewable electricity generation.
