Building heat recovery and Heat pumps, air conditioning and refrigeration

Energy flows from heat pumps, air conditioning and refrigeration to building heat recovery; energy flows from building heat recovery to heat pumps, air conditioning and refrigeration.

Building heat recovery (energy) and Heat pumps, air conditioning and refrigeration (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Heat pumps, air conditioning and refrigeration → Building heat recovery

Condenser heat from AC can be reused for hot water.

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Building heat recovery → Heat pumps, air conditioning and refrigeration

Exhaust air supplies heat pumps.
