During this webinar\, the tool developers from Verco demonstrated how these freely available\, spreadsheet-based resources simplify the complex process of evaluating heat pump installations\, making it accessible for both technical and non-technical staff to understand the best fit for their industrial operations. The tools come in three parts: \n\nTool 1: Initial Screening helps companies understand where a heat pump might be useful\, identify suitable technologies\, and provide examples of similar installations using simple inputs.\nTool 2: Feasibility Assessment enables users to assess the commercial viability of a heat pump project for a specific site or operation. This tool now includes a rapid assessment feature for quicker feedback as well as improved cost and performance estimations.\nTool 3: Supplier Database – This tool connects users with heat pump providers worldwide\, allowing them to find suppliers based on country and desired technology type.\n\nThe webinar included a presentation from HEINEKEN’s Nuria Navarrete\, who shared practical insights and lessons learned from her company’s heat pump strategy and global implementations. \nFill out the form below to watch the webinar recording: \nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form. \n you Name receive\n \n \n Name *FirstLastEmail *Organization *Title *Would you like to receive occasional updates from the RTC?YesNoWatch the Recording URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/rtc-heat-pump-decision-support-tools-launching-version-2-0/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:HPDST Webinar,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.renewablethermal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Graphic_speakers-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250528T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250528T120000 DTSTAMP:20250501T205037Z CREATED:20250501T205037Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250501T205037Z UID:10000139-1748430000-1748433600@www.renewablethermal.org SUMMARY:Policy Working Group DESCRIPTION:The RTC holds frequent Working Group meetings convening our Members\, Solutions Providers\, and staff to discuss current issues\, gather feedback\, and facilitate collaboration related to each of our workstreams.

On the RTC’s case study webinar on May 19\, implementers from two pioneering pilots shared their experiences and lessons learned. \nAt SUNY Purchase\, RTC Solutions Provider Brenmiller Energy and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) deployed a 450 kW thermal energy storage system integrated with a combined heat and power microturbine. At Birra Peroni’s brewery in Bari\, Italy\, RTC Solutions Provider Absolicon installed a 460 kW solar thermal field and hot water storage tank to power the beer pasteurization process. Expert speakers from Brenmiller\, NYPA\, and Absolicon discussed how these pilots are designed to validate technology performance\, gather operational data\, and build confidence for future projects. \nFill out the form below to view the webinar recording:\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form. \n updates Title Organization\n \n \n Name *FirstLastEmail *Organization *Title *Would you like to receive occasional updates from the RTC?YesNoWatch the Recording URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/case-study-webinar-innovative-pilot-projects/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.renewablethermal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/graphic.png ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250513T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250513T120000 DTSTAMP:20260803T203748Z CREATED:20250312T172058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T203748Z UID:10000013-1747134000-1747137600@www.renewablethermal.org SUMMARY:RTC Community Call DESCRIPTION:In 2026\, the RTC will continue hosting Community Calls\, which are designed to support the collaboration and information-sharing that are fundamental to the RTC’s work.
