Entrance shelter
An entrance shelter 101 for attaching to a building 103 over a building entrance 104 (door), wherein the shelter houses or supports at least one component (603, fig 6) of an air source heat pump (601). The shelter further houses or supports an inlet (207, fig 2) to or an outlet (209) from a building ventilation system (206). The component may be an evaporator to absorb heat from an ambient environment, and the evaporator is suitable for coupling to an outlet from the ventilation system, and whereby in use air discharged from the building is directed across or through the evaporator. The shelter may comprise a filter 110 to filter air drawn into the building. The evaporator may form part or whole of an exterior weatherproof surface of the shelter and provides shelter or shade overhead of a person located outside the building. A fan may be used to direct the air across or through the evaporator. The air may be discharged from the building via a sensor controlled valve (505, fig 5) either as an air curtain (506) or to the evaporator (504). A building construction method and a method of operating an entrance shelter are also disclosed.
