Heat pumps are air conditioning devices capable of meeting both cooling and heating requirements by regulating the refrigerant flow. These are often regarded as more energy-efficient as they use the vapour compression cycle to transport the heat in or out of a room compared to conventional heating systems such as boiler systems. The Heat Pumps Savings Potential Assessment outlines the savings potential in both delivered energy use and carbon emissions from the introduction of energy-efficient heat pumps in selected developing and emerging economies with high heating degree days, namely Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, China, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kyrgyz Republic, Lebanon, Macedonia, Montenegro, Peru, Russian Federation, Serbia, South Africa, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uruguay, and Uzbekistan.
