"Electrification of heat is gathering pace driven by decarbonisation policies and growing customer demand.

At the same time, smart, flexible electric heating can capture opportunities from the growth in demand-side flexibility.

These two drivers are opening up more and more opportunities for electric heating products and services."

Hybrid heat pumps in Europe – How long is the window of opportunity?
Hybrid heat pumps have been an available technology option for decarbonising heating for several years. They can offer several benefits over other heating technologies, including being lower-carbon and more efficient than boilers, and providing solutions to some of the key challenges associated with fully electric heat pumps (especially in retrofit). But how many are currently being sold? Which markets and which housing segments are they gaining traction in, today? And how long might the ‘window of opportunity’ remain open for hybrids? This report presents our answers to these key questions.
Why E-HVAC needs to be interoperable - And how to capture value from it
This report categorises the three strategies for selling interoperable E-HVAC today, reveals how these strategies produce value and details the technical solutions used to enable them. We also look at the future of interoperability and E-HVAC, how these technical approaches could change and how different stakeholder groups can maximise opportunities in an increasingly connected world.
Air/Air Heat Pumps: Characterising the European Residential Market
This report assesses how air/air heat pumps (A/A HP) are used in the residential sector in Europe, characterising the technology set-up, the key applications, and the key market segments – with a focus on heating applications. The report defines and compares the main product types being sold on the European market and includes case studies of three different types of air/air market (France, Denmark and the UK) which are indicative of the spread of application types seen in Europe.
Impact of COVID-19 on customer attitudes and behaviours
Results of our online survey with European homeowners in October 2020 on how the COVID-19 crisis has affected them financially, if it has changed customer attitudes, and whether it will impact customer behaviours in relation to heating.
