In the context of climate protection and energy efficiency, heat pumps are playing an increasingly important role as a solution for heating existing buildings. Despite their significant energy-saving potential, there are many myths and misinformation circulating about their use in existing homes.
Heat pumps are becoming the gold standard for heating systems in new buildings
The requirements for energy efficiency will change from the 1st of January 2023. As of 2023, the heat pump will be used as the benchmark heating system when drawing up the energy performance certificate for a new building. This change will therefore also affect the approval of building permits and thus the overall design of the building.
