Summary

FAWA aims to employ statistical methods to document the energy efficiency and operational data of small heat pumps up to 20 kW heating capacity in operation, typically installed in single-family-houses or small condominiums, and to point out improvement potentials. The project was started in 1996 by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, with the long-term view of assisting heat pump promotion strategy. FAWA has shown that the collected data enabled more in-depth analysis of plant behaviour over time, and recommendations could be made on plant installations. FAWA thus describes and analyses today's reality in the field and provides guides for planning. However, due to the statistical nature of the data, the results derived from them cannot be seen as general planning rules.
