Heat pumps have a crucial role in the decarbonisation of the EU building stock, and they can also promote low-temperature district heating systems. It is thus important to understand of building envelopes are fit for heat pump installation and deployment. Energy performance certificates (EPCs) have an important role in conveying this information, especially to building owners.
