ACTIVITES■The 9th Meeting of AHPNW washeld in Beijing, China
Recently, 9th meeting of Asian Heat
Pump Thermal Storage Technologies
Network (AHPNW)* was held in Beijing,
China on 26th Nov. 2019, hosted bycompiled by China Academy of Building
Research (CABR) and about 40 experts,
researchers and engineers participated inthe workshop.

* Asian Heat Pump Thermal StorageTechnologies Network (AHPNW).

In the morning, open workshop was held
at CABR. The workshop started with theopening remark by Jianlin Wu, Deputy
Director of China Academy of Building
Research. Lingyan Yang, a researcher atthe Institute of Building Environment andEnergy of China Academy of Building
Research introduced “The Situation ofHeat Pump Technology in China”. Akihiro
Takeuchi, Director of Heat Pump &Thermal Storage Technology Center ofJapan, introduced " Introduction of HPTCJ
activities for the dissemination”.
Jun Young Choi, Chief Researcher ofKorea Testing Laboratory, made a reporton "ISO Heat Pump Standard".
Saravanan Rajagonpal, a representativeof the Indian HVAC Society and professor
at Anna University of India, introduced theprogress and application of heat pumptechnology in India.
Guoyuan Ma, professor of Beijing
University of Technology, made a theme
report on" Research Progress of Air
Source Heat Pump Heating System
Suitable for Cold Area Applications ".

The wider promotion of the high efficient
heatpumpand
thermalstoragetechnologies on the demand side is anurgent task in promoting energy
conservation and prevention of global
warming. Especially in Asian countries
where the energy consumption iscontinuously increasing due to the rapid
economy growth, to cooperate with eachother countries is highly essential.5
countries such as China, India, Japan,Korea, and Vietnam gathered together onOctober 2011 and established AHPNW.
Up to now we have held 8 international
meeting and published 9 newsletters.

In the afternoon, closed meeting by theparticipating organizations of AHPNW,China, Japan, Korea, and India, was held.
At this general meeting, AHPNW activities
since AHPNW Busan workshop held in2018 were summarized and the action tothe next workshop was discussed. The
plan to hold the next AHPNW workshop
and general meeting in Japan in 2020 wasproposed by Heat Pump & Thermal
Storage Technology Center of Japan andwas approved. The next AHPNW will be2

3Asian Heat Pump Thermal Storage Technologies Network
To promote energy savings and combat global warming, there is an urgent need to spread efficientheat pump and thermal storage technologies on the demand side. Countries in Asia, which areenjoying rapid economic growth, should coordinate with one another to spread this technology.
Five to ten years from now, Asia will become a global economic powerhouse and heat pumptechnologies will play a considerable role in all sectors. Asian countries will therefore need toaddress common issues and problems that have already been faced in Europe and North America.
Concerning the building of connections and networks among countries, it is essential to shareinformation on diffusion policies, technology trends, applications, etc., and then to make incremental
improvements. Further, situations which can or should be handled through collaboration should behandled flexibly, on a case-by-case basis, with the collaboration of all countries.
In order to encourage the use and development of heat pump and thermal storage technologies in
Asian countries we have established AHPNW in 2011.
