Delft

The Netherlands - Ground-source heat pump

 

Summary
The new-built office in Delft. Energy efficiency and cost savings were among the aims for the new office and storage building of Techneco BV. A vertical ground-source heat pump has been installed to provide heating, cooling and ventilation. The monitoring programme of the first year of operation is ongoing and the performance data will be available at a later stage.
