@burger_jaap it will be interesting to see translation from gas. Heat pumps aren’t always viable and solar heating has similar issues.

@dianshuo Meanwhile we have heating pumps for every kind of house/flat, every age of buildings.

For years we have energy laws for houses with different classes, and the worst class you can't rent anymore. You are obliged to install insulation when buying/building (also with subsidies).

We also have a law that all parking places up from a certain size are obliged to be covered by solar panels and it works very well!

@NatureMC @burger_jaap is there a place online to look at those heat pumps because my experience hasn’t been great if I don’t have half an acre of land to spare.
