From Cold Feet to Climate Confidence

Your guide to finding the heat pump that fits your building — and your climate goals.

Switching to a heat pump is one of the smartest moves you can make for a more sustainable, future-proof building. But let’s be honest, between all the technical jargon, system types, and installation options, it’s easy to get cold feet before making the leap.


That’s exactly why we created the Street HP Reno Library of Heat Pump Solutions.


Developed as part of the EU-funded LIFE Street HP Reno project, this catalogue is here to help you cut through the confusion and move forward with clarity; whether you’re planning a retrofit for your home, advising others, or managing a multi-building upgrade.


What’s inside?


  • A structured overview of today’s most common and innovative heat pump technologies

  • Guidance on which systems fit which types of buildings (from single-family homes to shared housing)

  • Key benefits and limitations of each solution — including space, integration, and efficiency considerations

  • Simple visual schemes that show how these systems work in practice

  • A final section featuring clever solutions to common challenges — like integrating with older heating systems or blending into building facades


This isn’t a technical manual. It’s a smart, friendly tool for making better decisions, with just the right level of detail to feel confident, not overwhelmed.



Why it matters

Climate plans are moving fast, and fossil heating is on the way out. Whether you’re a homeowner exploring cleaner options, a local authority guiding renovations, or an advisor supporting communities; heat pumps are central to the shift.

But good decisions need good information. This catalogue helps you compare options, spot the right fit, and take the next step with confidence.
