The paper presents challenges to be considered by engineers and by owners, managers and occupants in the perspective of the global warming, requiring measures for replacing the fossil fuel sources with renewable ones, as used by HVAC equipment.Air Source Heat Pumps, ASHP and Ground Source Heat Pumps GSHP are issues considered for the transition to "A Clean Planet for All" as a decarbonization path of the building sector.Retrofitting the envelope and using heat pumps is aimed for a greenhouse gas GHG mitigation in order to limit the climate change.Reaching a net reduction in CO2 emission involve a series of stages-envelope insulation, replacing the boiler with a heat pump, new, oversized heat emitters (and pipes), adapted circulation pumps, predictive control systems, and possible new network concepts.
