The Assoclima Manifesto relaunches the role of heat pumps in the energy transition.

Heat pumps remain a key technology for the energy transition in the building and industrial sectors.

During the Assoclima Members' Meeting , held in Vicenza, the Manifesto “Heat pumps: a tool for the industrial and energy transition” was presented, a document that aims to strengthen dialogue between institutions, businesses and citizens, enhancing the strategic role of this technology in the decarbonisation process.

A Manifesto to Accompany the Transition of the Sector

The Manifesto promoted by Assoclima was created with the aim of creating a shared vision of the contribution of heat pumps to reducing emissions and improving the energy efficiency of buildings . The initiative involves not only the industrial sector, but also consumer associations and sustainability stakeholders, emphasizing the need for a systemic approach to the transition.

In a rapidly evolving climate and energy landscape, heat pumps are considered a versatile solution, capable of efficiently meeting heating and cooling needs, helping to reduce energy consumption and the environmental impact of buildings.

Energy efficiency, comfort and integration with renewables

One of the key points of the Manifesto concerns the relationship between initial investment and long-term benefits . Although the installation cost may be higher than traditional systems, the savings on bills are often immediate and allow for a return on investment in a relatively short time.

The potential of heat pumps grows further when integrated with renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaics, promoting self-consumption and greater energy independence.

From this perspective, the Manifesto highlights the need for economic and tariff support tools to assist citizens and businesses in the transition to electrified air conditioning systems.

Industrial supply chain and skills at the heart of development

The document also pays particular attention to the industrial supply chain , recognizing Italy's leading role in the European heat pump landscape.

Strengthening national and European production , investing in innovation and supporting the development of specialized skills are considered strategic elements to consolidate the competitiveness of the sector.

The Manifesto also proposes promoting information campaigns and technical training programs, which are essential to ensuring correct installations, optimal performance, and informed dissemination of the technology.

A path that contributes not only to the energy transition, but also to the creation of qualified green jobs, with positive impacts on the entire economic system.

Heat pumps as a cornerstone of energy resilience

In the framework outlined by Assoclima, heat pumps are not simply an efficient technology, but a strategic pillar for the country's climate and energy resilience.

The Manifesto emphasizes the importance of long-term, stable, and coherent policies that can make this solution increasingly accessible and competitive.

An approach that aims to transform energy efficiency into a lever for industrial development, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and guiding the construction sector towards more sustainable and forward-looking models.
