ITS4ZEB

LIFE iTS4ZEB will develop and demonstrate novel compact, high performing, cost-effective, modular and integrated Thermal Energy Storages (TES) integrated with heat pump systems.

At the heart of the solution lies an innovative multisource heat pump combined with a PCM storage, which coupling is optimised by novel control algorithms maximising performance, renewable energy utilisation, hence GHG emissions reduction. To further reduce the climate impact of the solution, the heat pump will exploit propane as refrigerant fluid, featuring nearly-zero GWP.

The project adopts a flexible approach for the solutions to be applicable to a wide variety of buildings, newly built or renovated, poorly or well insulated.
