Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption poses one of the major issues that has to be dealt with at present. National and international climate change objectives demand a significant reduction in all sectors Along with the increasing expectations of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, these global targets are causing a change in our energy system. The demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective systems have risen due primarily to dwindling resources causing increasing energy costs. To deal with these issues, the focus shifts more and more towards phasing out fossil fuels and replacing them with electrical energy systems powered by renewable intermittent energy sources, such as sun and wind, to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. One way to heat buildings more efficiently is the use of a heat pump. Heat pumps have become popular in Germany, by now, over 1 million have been implemented.
