Abstract: This case study aims to analyze the market potential of heat pumps and thermal energy storage in Romania. It was done at the level of a medium-sized city, the Tulcea Municipality. It was carried out on the basis of interviews with the main stakeholders of the city, such as the deputy mayor, the employees of the urban planning department, the director and the employees of Energoterm, the heating company. Documents were analyzed regarding the thermal energy and electricity consumption of the main public buildings, their existing energy certificates and their RLVs were also studied together with field visits. The study presents the structure of thermal energy consumption of public buildings in the municipality, analyze the possibilities of reducing heating and cooling costs and greenhouse gas emissions of public buildings and proposes some technical solutions based on integrated systems with customized heat pumps for each analyzed public building.
