  [Quote: "For multi-zone buildings adopting heat pumps with specific terminals, a comprehensive analysis of energy savings resulting from intermittent heating still needs to be done." Quote: "These results contradict the generally accepted notion that intermittent heating will obviously uses less energy. Instead, the results of the calculation show that, compared with the power consumption of the heat pump under continuous heating, the power consumption of the heat pump under intermittent heating may be lower, similar or even higher, depending on the terminal type. Specifically, under intermittent heating, fan-coil heating systems can significantly achieve energy savings [], while radiant floor heating systems consume more energy. The heat pump power consumption in radiator heating systems for intermittent heating and continuous heating is very similar. Therefore, from an energy saving perspective, an intermittent heating strategy is more suitable for heating systems with convective terminals." Quote: "... heat pump power consumption is similar under intermittent heating versus continuous heating for buildings with light envelopes, while a heat pump operated continuously is more energy efficient for buildings with heavy envelopes. These results indicate that intermittent operation is more suitable for buildings with less thermal inertia."]
