Presented at: European Conference and Cooperation Exchange on Sustainable Energy Systems 2005, Vienna, Austria, 5-8 oktober 2005.
Abstract:
Heat pump installations
use renewable energy and can thus be applied in sustainable energy systems
for heating and cooling of buildings. Satisfaction of users of such
systems is one of the main factors for successful large-scale implementation.
Good technical performance and reduction of exploitation costs are said
to be important aspects that lead to satisfied users. But how important
are these aspects? Do they guarantee satisfied users? The Energy research Centre of the Netherlands
evaluated 10 identical sustainable energy systems for heating and cooling
of dwellings over a period of at least 1 year. Not only technical and
energetic aspects were evaluated but also inhabitant experiences with
the installations. These experiences include control, comfort and cost
aspects.
