Farewell boiler, welcome heat pump?
Marco Simonetti, associate professor of Environmental Technical Physics, discusses with Alberto Poggio, researcher in Energy and Environment Systems.
In a few years, we will have to say goodbye to traditional boilers for heating and hot water. In the European Union, we have established that natural gas and diesel must give way to other solutions that reduce CO2 emissions. Heat pump technology is a concrete alternative. How does it integrate into an existing system? Can it heat water even in winter? Does the electricity bill risk skyrocketing?
Researchers at the Politecnico di Torino will try to answer these questions.
