Abstract
Low carbon domestic heating is a major challenge for cold climates such as the UK, where most homes still use fossil gas boilers. Heat pumps have lower carbon emissions. Use of ground or water instead of air as a heat source allows the option of thermal storage from solar or other sources and can improve the efficiency of the system. This paper considers the options for a large, detached house to be built in south-west England, including comparison of a ground and water storage, use of photovoltaic-thermal panels for heat and electricity, design of the house to minimise heat loss, and timescales of thermal storage.
