Dermot Bannon, an architect and brand ambassador for Mitsubishi Electric, retrofitted a 1920s home in Drumcondra, Ireland, using the Ecodan air source heat pump. The project commenced in 2019, addressing issues including poor insulation and low energy performance indicated by its original G BER rating.

Bannon's retrofit strategy included deep insulation, high-quality ventilation, and an advanced heating system, with the Ecodan heat pump central to achieving comfort and sustainability. The system has since provided consistent heating and hot water, significantly reducing the home's carbon footprint.
