Congress
The European Heat Pump Summit - meeting place for the international heat pump community - took place in Nuremberg on 26 and 27 October 2021. The focus of the summit was on the professional discussions of current market developments, research and development results and the commercial and industrial application challenges.
A heat pump strategy for the next decade [2]
Main speaker:
Thomas Nowak - European Heat Pump Association
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
The EU energy system integration strategy and the IEA net zero by 2050 are only the most prominent examples of an increasing number of studies pointing to a most prominent role for heat pump technologies in a decarbonised society. Strong policy is needed to make these goals reality.
Transformative UK Heat Pump Commitment: Opportunities and Expectations for the Global Supply Chain [3]
Main speaker:
James Beal - UK Department For International Trade (DIT)
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte

Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
This work provides 2020 activities of IEA-HPT’s Annex 54: Heat Pump Systems with Low GWP Refrigerants. This annex aims at promoting low-GWP refrigerant application by developing design guidelines of optimized heat pump components and systems for low-GWP refrigerants.
Ground source heat pump with HC: Frascold for residential application [6]
Main speaker:
Kaven Nourrice - Frascold S.p.A.
Author(s):
Nika Bagdasarian - Frascold S.p.A.
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
Frascold's presentation concerns the case study that was carried out in collaboration with an Italian company that produces and markets innovative solutions for heating and cooling buildings or entire neighbourhoods. The case study was carried out in a residential HC ground source application with HC.
Ground source heat pumps with new generation refrigerants-high efficiency solutions developed for the premium market [7]
Main speaker:
Stefano Bissoli - Alfa Laval
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
Electric power availability from the grid will represent a limiting factor in the booming heat pump market, and only high COP devices will be supported in the future. Alfa Laval’s innovative solutions represent a unique and cost competitive offering to reach the maximum COP.
“Blue House”, a virtuous example of the main trends of the European HVAC market [8]
Main speaker:
Dr. Eng. Alessandro Pinato - Swegon
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
A Case study: Blue House is a new HVAC plant in Malmö (Sweden), with a high efficiency low GWP inverter HP that works in synergy with the AHUs and the room terminals to ensure the best IEQ and minimize the energy consumption. Digitalization of the system allows for local and remote connectivity.
The future of renewable heating in apartment buildings [9]
Main speaker:
Bart Aspeslagh - Daikin Europe
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
In 2018, 46% of the EU-27 population was living in flats (Eurostat). With the ambitious decarbonization targets set by the EU, apartment buildings will require renewable heating solutions. In this presentation, Daikin Europe showcases the practical concerns and solutions for this market.
