Part 2/10:
Adam Chapman, a passionate advocate for maximizing heating efficiency, recently founded a community organization known as Heat Geek. The organization aims to gather heating engineers to share insights, design methodologies, and strategies that enhance the efficiency of heat pump systems. With the community's collective knowledge, the average Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP), which is a measure of heat pump efficiency, can reach around 430 percent, peaking at an astonishing 500 percent for hot water heating.
Despite being a lead player in the heat pump arena, Chapman emphasizes that the secrets behind high efficiency are not necessarily arcane or unattainable. Instead, they are based on straightforward principles and practices that anyone can learn.
