Heat Pumps Take on Cold Climates

Cars That Think

The companies’ task is to demonstrate a high-efficiency, residential, air-source heat pump that can perform at 100 percent capacity at -15 °C. Companies can choose to further test their machines down to -26 °C. Companies that complete the challenge won’t receive a cash prize. The study found that if every heated home in the U.S.
