Heat Pump Electrification Assessment Program
Helping brands identify, evaluate, and implement heat pump electrification opportunities across their manufacturing supply chains through technical and financial analysis.
RESET Carbon’s Heat Pump Electrification Assessment Program empowers apparel, footwear, and other manufacturing brands to move heat pump adoption from concept to commissioned system across their supplier base.
Through a structured, three-phase approach, we help clients screen suppliers for electrification potential, conduct feasibility studies on hot water and steam heat pump applications, and support vendor selection and implementation through to verified performance outcomes.
Our Heat Pump Electrification Assessment Services:
Whether you are screening a full supplier portfolio or advancing a single facility toward installation, our methodology ensures resources are directed toward the sites and pathways with the strongest technical and commercial case for electrification.
TECHNOLOGY SCREENING & SUPPLIER PRIORITIZATION
We rapidly screen supplier portfolios to identify the strongest candidates for heat pump electrification:
- Map electrification potential across a brand’s supplier portfolio using a practical, factory-floor-aware screening methodology
- Apply a proprietary assessment tool that uses high-level facility inputs to generate indicative heat pump sizing and CAPEX/ROI ranges, factoring in wastewater heat recovery opportunities rather than assuming a theoretical direct-swap of fuel for electricity
- Identify and rank suppliers by electrification potential to prioritize deeper technical engagement
- Deliver individual supplier assessment reports and a consolidated portfolio-level summary with recommended pathways (hot water heat pump, steam heat pump, heat recovery, or hybrid solutions)
TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDY
We deliver feasibility studies that go beyond simple payback calculations:
- Conduct on-site heat balance assessments to map heat sources, process demand, and existing recovery infrastructure
- Evaluate technical feasibility across candidate heat pump configurations, including cascaded, parallel, and hybrid system designs
- Build financial models covering CAPEX/OPEX and payback
- Run sensitivity analysis against energy market fluctuations and operational variability to stress-test the investment case
HEAT PUMP SYSTEM INTEGRATION DESIGN
We translate feasibility findings into a facility-ready system design:
- Develop detailed system capacity and supply flow specifications aligned with facility infrastructure
- Produce equipment specification lists and high-detail technical integration diagrams
- Refine the financial model against the finalized design and system figures
- Support facility teams through design walkthroughs to confirm operational and technical fit
VENDOR PROCUREMENT SUPPORT
We act as an independent technical advisor throughout vendor selection:
- Translate the integration design into tender specification packages with clear technical KPIs and performance guarantees
- Identify and pre-qualify vendors based on technical capability, track record, and financial health
- Benchmark vendor proposals on technical alignment, CAPEX, and projected OPEX
- Support contract negotiation to tie commercial terms to real-world, verifiable energy savings
IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT & PERFORMANCE VALIDATION
We provide project management and technical oversight through commissioning and beyond:
- Deliver on-site commissioning support and Final Acceptance Testing (FAT) oversight
- Provide project management and technical assurance throughout installation
- Conduct post-installation performance verification against the original investment case
DELIVERABLES & TOOLS
We provide actionable, decision-ready outputs at every phase:
- Site-level and portfolio-level assessment reports
- Techno-economic feasibility reports with financial modeling
- Heat pump system integration diagrams and equipment specifications
- Vendor evaluation criteria, system acceptance reports, and performance verification reports
Your Heat Pump Electrification Experts
Our team of energy engineers and carbon consultants bring deep technical expertise, regional field experience, and hands-on project delivery to every phase of a heat pump electrification program, from initial screening through commissioning and performance validation. Our engineers hold industry-recognized credentials including Certified Energy Manager (CEM), Certified Energy Efficiency Assessor (CMVP), and Certified Energy Engineer designations, and bring a combined of field experience across more than 700 energy efficiency and heat recovery projects in Asia.
Why RESET Carbon’s Approach Stands Out
Most heat pump screening tools on the market ask suppliers for a level of granular engineering data they don’t have, or they evaluate hardware in isolation without factoring in the realities of the factory floor. That gap leads to two common failure modes: assessments that stall because suppliers can’t produce the required data, or feasibility conclusions that look sound on paper but don’t hold up once existing waste heat recovery and infrastructure constraints are factored in.
RESET Carbon’s methodology is built around factory floor modeling. Our screening stage flags wastewater heat recovery opportunities and generates indicative sizing and ROI ranges, so the resulting shortlist is grounded in what’s realistically achievable on-site rather than a theoretical direct-swap. The detailed feasibility study then builds out a comprehensive assessment of existing heat recovery infrastructure and system design. Combined with our engineering team’s direct experience commissioning heat pump systems in apparel and textile manufacturing, this means brands get a program that moves suppliers efficiently from screening through a verified, operating system.
Proven Experience & Scalable Methodology
We bring deep technical expertise and a track record of delivering heat pump feasibility studies that convert into implemented, verified systems.
RESET Carbon has supported leading apparel and textile manufacturers in evaluating and implementing heat pump electrification across Asia. Our work includes:
- A heat pump feasibility study for a dyeing and finishing facility in China that identified 32,000 m³ of untapped wastewater heat annually, resulting in a proposed two-stage thermal recovery solution with an estimated 8% emission reduction and a 16-month payback
- A coal phase-out feasibility study for a vertically integrated textile manufacturer in Taiwan, identifying an integrated steam heat pump solution projected to cut coal consumption by approximately 30% while operating within the facility’s existing electrical capacity
- Structured heat pump electrification screening programs designed for global apparel brands’ supplier portfolios, building on RESET Carbon’s broader experience conducting 300+ on-site energy assessments across 500+ factories in Asia
- A scalable, phased methodology that takes brands from portfolio-wide screening to individual facility implementation, with local engineering presence across China and SEA key manufacturing hubs
