Heat pump installation and greenhouse effect

Proposal of heat pump installations for small cubic buildings have been presented. Main goal of heat pump is produce energy necessary for heating, ventilation and hot water. Influence of heat pump installation on greenhouse gases emission to the atmosphere during its properly operation has been discussed. Obtained value of greenhouse gases emission were recalculated to equivalent CO₂ emission and compared to analogical emission from the same building without heat pump installation.
