IEA Heat Pump Programme Executive Committee participation as representive member.

Since January 2013, Denmark has participated in the IEA Heat Pump Programme (HPP). The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) has designated Danish Technological Institute to be the Danish representative of the work of the HPP's Executive Committee.

The purpose of the project is as follows;

1: To promote and implement projects in the IEA HPP, which will be of interest to Denmark and Danish business community.

2: To ensure that Danish companies and research institutes can participate in and get the benefits from an international collaboration on heat pump projects.

The participation in the IEA HPP gives the Danish business community access to all the projects running under HPP. Moreover, Denmark will be given access to the knowledge generated within these projects and in the IEA HPP.

At the moment, Denmark is participating in Annex 51; ”Acoustic signatures of heat pumps” and Annex 48 “Industrial Heat Pumps, Second phase”. Furthermore, Denmark has initiated Annex 47 ”Heat Pumps in district heating and cooling systems”.

The international experience and knowledge from the IEA Heat Pump Programme shall be disseminated and communicated to both the DEA and relevant Danish stakeholders to ensure that the experience of other countries and international organizations is disseminated.
