Aim: In order to promote successful heat pump uptake in the UK, the research aims to establish the socio-cultural barriers, motivations and enablers of heat pump use. The following research questions are addressed under this aim:RQ1: What is it like to live with a heat pump according to adopters of the technology? RQ2: Does the lived experience with a heat pump differ from life with a boiler, and if so, how?RQ3: What insights can be drawn from analysis of the lived experience with a heat pump compared with a boiler to promote a successful transition from conventional boilers to heat pumps?The following objectives and methodology are employed to address these questions:Objectives and methodology:[Phase 1]1. A literature review will identify socio-technical factors which might influence the lived experience of the heating system, and which could act as barriers, motivators and enablers of heat pump uptake.2. A grounded theory approach will underpin the ethnographic exploration of the lived experience of occupants with a boiler and those with a heat pump, their feelings associated with their current heating system and perceptions of the alternative, and identify those key points of difference which might help or hinder heat pump uptake.[Phase 2]3. Establish whether and how thermal perceptions might differ between heat pump and boiler households by mapping indoor thermal satisfaction onto heating patterns, exploring the use of the heating system and monitoring heating patterns in boiler and heat pump households. Temperature monitoring coupled with ethnographic analysis will determine how these factors relate to the lived experience. [Phase 3]4. A second review of data collected will identify the key points of difference between boiler and heat pump adopter perspectives to propose a set of policy and industry recommendations addressing socio-cultural barriers and motivations to heat pump uptake, to aid a successful transition from boilers to heat pumps.Outcomes:By comparing the experience of gas, smart controlled gas, hybrid heat pump and standalone heat pump occupants, the research will make a novel contribution to previous work understanding how to promote heat pump uptake. It will enable the benefits of heat pumps to be communicated from the adopter perspective to current non- and pre-adopters, and the identification of factors ensuring the transition towards heat pump technology brings positive experiences to households. A possible outcome is the identification of a particular heat pump technology most capable of attracting pre-adopter conversion and securing a positive post-adoption experience.

目的：为了促进热泵在英国的成功应用，这项研究旨在建立热泵使用的社会文化障碍、动机和推动者。在这一目标下解决了以下研究问题：RQ1：根据技术采用者的说法，与热泵生活在一起是什么感觉？RQ2：热泵的生活体验与锅炉的生活体验是否不同？如果是，如何不同？RQ3：从热泵与锅炉的生活体验的分析中可以得出什么见解，以促进从传统锅炉到热泵的成功过渡？以下目标和方法被用来解决这些问题：目标和方法：[阶段1]1.文献综述将确定可能影响供暖系统的生活体验的社会技术因素，以及哪些社会技术因素可能成为热泵应用的障碍、推动力和推动者。扎根的理论方法将支持对有锅炉和有热泵的住户的生活经验、他们对当前供暖系统的感受和对替代方案的看法的人种学探索，并找出可能有助于或阻碍热泵使用的关键点。[阶段2]3.通过将室内热满意度映射到供暖模式，探索供暖系统的使用，并监测锅炉和热泵家庭的供暖模式，确定热泵和锅炉家庭之间的热认知是否以及如何存在差异。温度监测和人种学分析将决定这些因素与生活体验的关系。[阶段3]4.对收集的数据进行第二次审查，将确定锅炉和热泵采用者之间的关键差异点，以提出一套解决社会文化障碍和热泵采用者动机的政策和行业建议，以帮助成功地从锅炉过渡到热泵。结果：通过比较燃气、智能控制燃气、混合热泵和独立热泵采用者的经验，该研究将对以前了解如何促进热泵采暖的工作做出新的贡献。它将使热泵的好处能够从采用者的角度传达给当前未采用者和尚未采用者，并确定确保向热泵技术过渡的因素，为家庭带来积极的经验。一个可能的结果是确定一种特定的热泵技术，最有能力吸引采用前改装并确保积极的采用后体验。
