Summary:The implementation of heat pumps as the primary source of heating in buildings, compared to installations using fossil fuels has become increasingly economical. The article focuses on the design of technical equipment of the building in terms of renewables. Specifically, the assessment of heat pumps for buildings as a heat source for water heating systems. As the energy prices are constantly rising, the energy management is currently a very important issue. One of the main reasons is that obtaining the primary energy sources like coal and oil is much more difficult than in the past. This may lead to the exhaustion of worldwide resources. The use of different sources e.g. solar, water and geothermal energy etc. could be seen as a potential way of improving thermal energy management.
