Description
Decarbonisation of home heating in England is accelerating through the phasing out of gas boilers and the introduction of air-source heat pumps. We argue that the physics secondary school curriculum in England therefore needs to change to include understanding of the thermodynamic principles of operation of air-source heat pumps. We present details of a classroom activity to demonstrate the efficiency of air-source heat pumps compared to other forms of home heating.
