Author

Listed:
  • Junghans, Lars

Abstract

In this study, the economic and environmental feasibility of air-to-air and geothermal heat pump systems is examined. The significance of the insulation level of the envelope on the economic and environmental feasibility of heat pump systems is demonstrated.
