Outstanding Performance For Residential Applications
Heat Pumps - An Efficient Technology Using Renewable Energy
Environmental impact, reduction of carbon footprint and energy consumption are at the centre of every discussion.
New legislation such as the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) directive, the Renewable Energy Sources
(RES) directive and Ecodesign have been implemented to improve the use of primary energy and promote energy
efficiency in heating and cooling applications.

Although the RES directive acknowledges air, water and ground as renewable energy sources , most water heaters
on the market today still use fossil fuels or direct electricity.

Heat pumps are recognized as the technology of choice to make renewable energy usable.

Your Choice For An Efficient Heating Solution
Emerson Climate Technologies offers a wide selection of products from single components that can be implemented into heating and
reversible systems, over a combination of compressors and controls, to the option of integrating its technologies into one highly efficient
refrigerant module – tailored to application needs. The more integrated the solution, the more advantageous are time to market, invest-
ment and resources while reliability and efficiency will increase.
