Heating Electrification: Policies to Drive Ground-Source Heat Pump Adoption
Executive Summary Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are typically the most efficient form of heating and cooling for buildings. For every unit of electricity a GSHP system consumes, it produces roughly 3-4 units of equivalent heat (or cooling), thanks to the solar energy naturally stored underground. Because of these efficiencies, GSHPs can provide significant cost savings in the effort to ...
