5. Conclusion

Heat pumps are an essential technology for addressing today’s energy and environmental challenges. Subject to strict regulations at both the European and national levels, they offer efficient solutions for heating, cooling, and hot water production. Standards such as EN 378 and EN 15450 guarantee their safety and performance, while ensuring their compliance with energy transition goals.

Optimal sizing of heat pumps is essential to ensure their efficiency, minimize energy consumption, and keep operating costs down. Performance indicators such as SCOP and SEER help evaluate their seasonal efficiency, while energy labeling helps users choose models that meet their needs.

In addition to residential and commercial applications, heat pumps also play a significant role in the industrial sector. They address specific needs, such as drying, waste...
