Task Group (TG) on Energy Modeling of Heat Pumps, August 21st 2025
Task Group (TG) on Energy Modeling of Heat Pumps, August 21st 2025
The TG, chaired by Steve Kemp, began with a detailed discussion and presentation on non-Part 9 heat pump modelling, followed by a dedicated discussion on heat pumps in Part 9 applications. During this portion, a suggestion was raised about introducing an envelope backstop for the heat pump requirements. This means establishing minimum building envelope efficiency standards in addition to heat pump performance requirements.
Members reminded the task group that envelope requirements are outside the scope of this group and clarified that the intent of the task group is to focus solely on heat pump modelling. The meeting ended 30 minutes earlier than scheduled.
