RENEWABLE HEATING AND COOLING
How do we maximise the opportunity from
Renewable Heating and Cooling of Buildings?
• Make best use of intermittent renewable energy when it is available: - High Efficiency Heat Pumps (Dimplex A Series)
• Store the intermittent renewable energy efficiently for future use when
there is consumer demand: - Smart Electric Thermal Storage (Dimplex Quantum)
• What is required to facilitate this?
- Smart Grid Technology
- Energy Market Mechanisms
