Welcome to SEPEMO-Build project
The project "SEasonal PErformance factor and MOnitoring for heat pump systems in the building sector (SEPEMO-Build)" aims at overcoming market barriers to a wider application of heat pumps by developing a universal methodology for field measurement of heat pump systems Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF) including a monitoring programme for 46 heat pump installations in six European countries. The objective is a broader acceptance and improved quality assurance for heat pump systems.
