van der Bent, H.S. (author), van den Brom, P.I. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Mouter, N. (author)Achieving energy efficiency in the built environment requires extensive efforts in the renovation and adaptation of housing stock. A promising design solution is the heat pump. While gas boiler systems are commonly used in Dutch non-profit housing stock, the share of dwellings with a heat pump grew from 1.6% in 2017 to 3.2% in 2021. However,...journal article 2022
