Wärmepumpen für Gebäude gemäss DIN 0100

Heat pumps for buildings have gained significant importance and offer an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional heating systems. Heat pumps not only contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions but are also one of the most efficient methods for heat generation. Starting with the basics and functionality, the book guides electrical professionals step by step through the selection of the optimal heat pump type and the corresponding location within the planned building, as well as planning, installation, operation, and maintenance. Special considerations for use in existing buildings, legal frameworks, and current market trends are also addressed. It includes fundamentals, practical tips, and established standard procedures in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-802, DIN EN 60335-2-40 (VDE 0700-40), and VDI 4645 guidelines for the compliant installation and operation of building heat pumps. The work comments on and illustrates the relevant technical rules (including DIN-VDE standards, DIN standards, VDI guidelines) that are essential for the installation and safe operation of heat pumps. The book concludes with a look at the technical and practical challenges that may arise when integrating these systems into existing buildings and networks.
