IEA report states heat pumps, district energy and building renovation crucial to achieving net zero

The International Energy Agency (IEA), has issued several analyses is part of a series from its new report, Technology and innovation pathways for zero-carbon-ready buildings by 2030. Heat pumps, district energy networks and renovation of existing building stock are crucial components to achieve this objective.
