Domestic Hot Water Heat Pumps in France
Referred to as ‘thermodynamic hot water generators’ (Ceti) to distinguish them from electric storage units using resistance elements, integrated heat pump/hot water storage packages enjoyed a 32% increase in sales in 2013 to around 46,000 units. This compares with European sales of 65,000 units. The trend has been to some extent prompted by the 2012 energy regulations. Further growth in the future...
Heat Pump Market in Germany
Figures from the German heat pump association BWP show that the market stabilized in 2013 at a total 60,000 installations, sold mainly into housing.

A mere 5 years ago. I was later to fly several times to see them, sometimes via Billund. Not a very famous place perhaps until one realises it is the birthplace and HQ of “leg godt” Danish for “play well”. Of course, w...
