Topic of the month
This ToM explores key actions to accelerate heat pump deployment in Europe’s building sector, focusing on policy support, market readiness, skills and innovative solutions, while drawing on insights from LIFE CET projects:
- Compatibility of market-available heat pumps with the existing buildings stock: low-temperature HP for low-temperature emission systems versus higher temperature HP for radiator-based heating systems
- Skill gaps in the heat pump sector
- Power2heat: flexibility market readiness
- The need for storage in HP (SotA and innovative TES)
... and more!

Building conversations up with... Thomas Nowak, Vice President Government Relations and Public Affairs at Qvantum International.
How can heat pumps be adapted to different building types and climatic conditions? This article presents a flexible air-to-water heat pump with integrated PCM storage, developed and validated within the LIFE ITS4ZEB project to support low-carbon heating solutions.
For building professionals and engineers, heat pumps offer major decarbonisation potential and play a key role in improving the energy performance of buildings, supporting the implementation of the revised EPBD and accelerating building electrification.
This article explores how subscription-based heat pump models can unlock cost-effective, scalable, clean heating solutions for leased buildings, addressing investment barriers while enhancing performance, comfort, and energy efficiency.
A new Commission document provides guidance for authorities and building professionals on applying a whole life-cycle carbon approach, integrating operational and embodied emissions while promoting renovation, circularity and better use of the existing building stock.
BUILD UP launches a new video series showcasing real-life energy-efficiency examples across Europe. The first case study features the Ruiz Picasso Building in Madrid, a compelling example of how existing buildings can be transformed into sustainable, high-performance and digitally enabled assets.
