This week we're with Ryan Philp from heat pump manufacturer Daikin who caught our attention thanks to his article titled Heat Pumps Are Not The Answer.

In truth, he is a firm believer in heat pumps, just not heat pumps as a 'magic bullet'. So, we talked about that a lot, as well as efficiencies, embodied carbon, and heat networks. You also get to hear four white men talk about diversity issues.

Some references from the show

• Ryan's article, Heat Pumps Are Not The Answer
• The Heat Pump Association of Ireland
• Future Homes Hub, for whom he is a technical advisor
• Stemazing, an inspiring scheme that Ryan mentions at the end for achievements in diversity and representation
