Rick Clarke, Product Manager for NIBE, explains the Exhaust Air Heat Pump (EAHP) opportunity – the ideal heat pump technology for flats, apartments and small new builds.
Densely populated locations are some of the hardest places to install heat pumps, with air and ground source heat pumps often unsuitable due to a lack of space for the outside unit or ground loops.
Exhaust Air Heat Pumps (EAHPs) offer a solution, by utilising extracted air from inside a building, while also providing ventilation. Extremely efficient with no need for external equipment, EAHPs are widely adopted in Europe, but yet to make significant waves in the UK.
In this webinar, Rick Clarke, NIBE’s product manager, will explain the technology behind EAHPs, the applications they’re best suited to and the opportunity; EAHPs have a key role to play in the UK’s decarbonisation aims, potentially helping specifiers, developers and installers move the greatest numbers of people away from relying on fossil fuels.
