Heat pumps, a critical technology for clean energy systems, are becoming the most important technology for heating decarbonisation. Currently, the vast majority of heat is provided by fossil fuels. In order to promote and encourage heat pump installations across the globe, the Regulatory Assistance Project, CLASP, the Global Buildings Performance Network, and Agora Energiewende have developed this heat pump policy toolkit—Version 2.0 — which provides a suite of tools, and advice on how to use them, for policymakers interested in promoting this critical technology.
This toolkit works as a synthesis of policy approaches to heat pump deployment and a guide to designing the best packages of policies. The interactive toolkit (which includes clickable links throughout) also features short videos that give an overview of each relevant element of the toolkit.
The is the second version of this toolkit we’ve produced. New material includes:
- Updated and new graphics
- Up-to-date data presented in the text
- The prologue
- Chapter 3 – A section air-blown versus wet systems
- Chapter 4 – A section on large heat pumps
- Chapter 5 – An equity chapter
- Chapter 7 – A section on high quality installers
- Chapter 7 – A section on flexibility
- Chapter 11 – A case studies chapter
