With 97,000 heat pumps for the year 2022, Panasonic in Pilsen has become the leading manufacturer of hot water heat pumps in the Czech Republic. By 2026, production capacity will increase to approximately 550,000 units. Mit 97.000 Wärmepumpen für das Jahr 2022 ist Panasonic in Pilsen zum führenden Hersteller von Warmwasser-Wärmepumpen in der Tschechischen Republik geworden. Bis 2026 wird die Produktionskapazität auf rund 550.000 Einheiten steigen.
The composition of natural gas in the Czech distribution system, or the Czech part of the former Czechoslovak system, has not changed too much over time to date. Almost all of the gas was that supplied from the former Soviet Union and, following its disintegration, from Russia mainly to western European countries and met their requirements. The situation completely changed in 2022 when gas supply from Russia to the EU was reduced and large quantities were replaced with LNG. In this context, the contribution discusses the changes in the composition of the natural gas distributed in the Czech Republic.
The efficiency of the heat pump also depends on the optimal design of the primary heat collector, most often in the form of a well, a surface collector, but also clinkers or energy baskets. The length of the pipe and its dimensions are closely related to the operating temperature drop in the primary circuit of the heat pump.
Replacing the boiler with a heat pump requires verification of the system's hydraulics, temperature regimes and heat pump performance. Mutual incompatibility can be detected by measuring temperatures, working with equithermal curve graphs and manufacturer's documents, especially in the case of a simpler heating system in a family home.

The increasing incidence of “legionnaire's disease” caused by strains of Legionella pneumophila bacteria indicates an underestimation of the risk not only on the side of hot water production, but above all in its distribution through internal water supply. And what the public does not expect at all, even when distributing cold drinking water.
The article shows the ways of using load profiles of hot water heaters defined by Commission Regulations No 811, 812, 813 and 814/2013 to construct a cumulative hot water consumption curves. The authors point out errors commonly made by designers of hot water preparation systems in relation to the use of the load profiles. The conclusion of the article contains a comparison between consumption curves obtained with use of the hot water heaters’ load profiles and real measurements in different types of buildings.
Stricter ENB criteria and efforts to enforce a comprehensive view, not only the energy needs associated with housing, but also the place of residence, mode of transport, etc. show that the current situation is not systematically resolved. Meeting the new criteria in existing buildings, many of which have not even undergone basic insulation, will be very challenging, albeit necessary.
Conference paper debates results of researches into wall heating which are showed that placement of wall heating panels in interior walls results in a lower heat loss than placement in outer walls, and that wall heating can have equal or better energy-efficiency compared to floor heating and conventional radiators.
Thermal baths in Slovakia are producers of wastewater, which have considerable enegry potential. Wastewater often exceeds the maximum temperature that can be discharged to the recipient without harming the environment. In many cases, this requirement is not met, and swimming pool operators must face sanctions for environmental pollution. The aim of the paper is to present the possibilities of using the energy potential of wastewater, which would ensure its required temperature.
The paper focuses on the sizing of chimneys for fireplaces in which wood is burnt. Before the dimensioning itself the combustion equation and the derived equations for determining the flow of fire-wood and the flow of combustion air and gas are listed. At the end, the paper provides an example of calculation.
