T-5
T-7: Download the exhibitor list and message five to eight suppliers to fix meeting slots, naming the project type (retrofit, new build, DHW, district heating).
T-6
T-7: Check Schengen entry requirements and confirm your passport stays valid for three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area.
T-7
T-5: Prepare a one-page technical brief covering building type, heating load, design flow temperature, refrigerant preference and available incentives so stand conversations are quantified.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Glossary
- Heat pump
- A device that moves thermal energy from a cooler source (air, water, ground) to a warmer sink using a refrigeration cycle, delivering more heat energy than the electricity it consumes.
- Air-source heat pump (ASHP)
- Uses outdoor air as the heat source; the dominant family for residential heating retrofits in Italy.
- Hydronic heating
- Heating delivered by water circulated through radiators or underfloor loops, the usual partner for a heat pump in Italian residential buildings.
- Retrofit
- Replacing an existing gas boiler with a heat pump in an occupied building, which drives questions about radiator sizing, insulation, and hot-water storage.
- Seasonal performance (SCOP)
- A measure of seasonal heating efficiency across a heating season; used to compare heat pump units in European energy labelling.
- MiCo Milano Congressi
- Allianz MiCo, the Milan convention centre in the Portello / CityLife district where the show floor is held.
