Objective

To encourage innovative research and ideas on assessing the environmental benefits of replacing conventional heating systems with heat pumps in Swedish and French homes, considering what heat source is replaced, what size and types of heat pumps that are installed in Sweden and France. Also calculating the payback times for the heat pumps. 

Eligibility

Open to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students currently enrolled in Swedish universities.

Research Focus Areas

Environmental Impact Assessment: Assess the reduction in CO2 emissions and other environmental benefits from installing heat pumps in place of traditional heating systems, also considering what specific traditional heat source we are replacing (gas, oil, direct heating etc..) with what size of heat pump that is installed.

  1. Electricity Mix and Efficiency

Evaluate the efficiency of heat pumps in the context of Sweden and France electricity mix, including renewable energy sources.

  1. Cost-Benefit Analysis

Analyze the economic aspects, including cost savings and return on investment, for homeowners switching to heat pumps.
