The man who said 'heat pumps are not the answer', with Ryan Philp (Daikin)

This week we're with Ryan Philp from heat pump manufacturer Daikin who caught our attention thanks to his article titled Heat Pumps Are Not The Answer.

In truth, he is a firm believer in heat pumps, just not heat pumps as a 'magic bullet'. So, we talked about that a lot, as well as efficiencies, embodied carbon, and heat networks. You also get to hear four white men talk about diversity issues.

Some references from the show

• Ryan's article, Heat Pumps Are Not The Answer
• The Heat Pump Association of Ireland
• Future Homes Hub, for whom he is a technical advisor
• Stemazing, an inspiring scheme that Ryan mentions at the end for achievements in diversity and representation
