The Exploitation Costs for Various Heating Systems According to the Energetic Certification Law in Poland

Abstract

In connection with the implementation of the energetic certification law in the European Union the issues relating to an air-to-water heat pump performance in a monovalent system in European climatic conditions have been discussed in this article. Running costs for an air-to-water heat pump-based system and conventional systems have been estimated. Analysis based on the law and concerned mono mode operation of a heat pump has been carried out for a classic single family house that has been built according to the standards and regulations valid in Poland.
