Summary

The retrofit of heating systems represents a significant market in France. Nowadays, high-temperature heat pumps make an interesting alternative to boilers, with real advantages in term of CO2 emission and energy efficiency. Another advantage of heat pumps lies in the energy that can be saved over a year. The HSPF (heat seasonal performance factor) is therefore the most appropriate parameter for relating to actual heating energy bills. HSPF is the ratio of the total heat delivered over the heating season to the total energy input over the heating season. In the study, field test results on a French house will be presented, as results of simulations calculating the HSPF.
