Abstract

As part of the ReLab project funded by the Lombardy Region, a campaign to monitor heat pumps plants, mainly installed in public buildings, has been promoted to evaluate their actual performance in the field and to analyze the impact on their performance of the real conditions of operation. The ReLab monitoring project involved 27 heat pumps plants, mainly installed in public buildings such as schools, town halls, gyms and disabled homes. The measurement campaign was carried out between winter 2013-2014 and summer 2015. From the presented results it emerges that the performances of the heat pumps in the field can be strongly influenced by several factors, related both to the design and to the management of the plant. Therefore, it is clear that the integration of a monitoring system can be extremely useful to become aware of the actual consumption and the real performance in the field of the plant, so as to understand its weaknesses and implement corrective actions, even if only at level of adjustment of schedules and setpoints, to significantly reduce energy waste.
