Renewable electricity can be efficiently used to power chillers and heat pumps for cooling and heating of buildings. Heat pumps are capable to transfer low grade heat from ambient air or from low depth geothermal energy to higher temperature levels suitable for heating.
Various aspects effecting the efficiency and a detailed classification of these technologies are examined. Simulation models with the INSEL environment are outlined, and this chapter concludes with case studies investigating different applications.
