        abstract = {Next-generation heat pumps are central to global strategies for reducing energy use and carbon emissions in buildings. This paper reviews the latest technological innovations, including low-GWP refrigerants, enhanced cold-climate performance, renewable energy integration, and hybrid system configurations. Simulation studies and field data demonstrate the substantial energy and emissions savings achievable with modern heat pumps. The paper also discusses barriers to adoption and future research directions, providing a roadmap for policy, industry, and researchers.},
