Efficiency Test Standards Overview

Understanding heating efficiency of air and water source heat pump systems

This document aims to highlight the legislation which dictates the minimum efficiency level that a heat pump
must reach and how that efficiency is measured, calculated and reported by manufacturers. It also aims to
provide insight into why certain data is available/not available for different products and why all data is
shown in a particular format with specific references & caveats.

Understanding exactly how these tests & calculations are carried out will allow heat pump system designers
and other built environment professionals to better use manufacturer published performance data and
relate it to individual projects.
