Summary

This article describes the result of an analysis that was undertaken by Caneta on behalf of the Renewable and Electrical Energy Division of Natural Resources Canada. It aimed to estimate the total equivalent (global) warming impact (TEWI) of ground-source heat pumps (GSHP) compared to other heating and cooling systems in residential, commercial and institutional buildings. The modelling results showed significant emission reductions in major cities across Canada.
