Two heat pump systems with the highest energy performance indicators were chosen for an analysis. Those most efficient systems for heating and cooling are ground source heat pumps (GSHP) and the exhaust air heat pumps (EAHP). Consequently, two cases (case A and case B) with different pump configurations were related to a reference case R represented by gas-fired boilers covering heating needs and compression refrigeration units ensuring cooling needs. Technical assessment in the form of coefficients of performance as well as primary energy ratings were completed. An environmental impact taking into account CO2, SO2 and NOx emissions of analysed heat pump systems was also evaluated.
