HP capacity (Heatpump capacity):

The integrated heat generation capacity of the heatpump. This value takes into account the energy used for the
defrost cycle.
Heat pump capacity depends on the outside temperature and the leaving water temperature. The simulator
calculates the heatpump capacity at the minimum night temperature in the winter as described in the
meteorological data, and at the selected maximum leaving water temperature.
The simulator can not calculate accurate capacity values for outside temperatures below -15°C.

BUH capacity (Backup heater capacity):

The nominal heat generation capacity of the electrical backup heater.

System capacity:
Total heat generation capacity of the system, i.e. the sum of heat pump capacity and backup heater capacity.

Spare capacity:
The surplus in heat generation capacity when compared to the required heating capacity, i.e. the difference
between system capacity and required capacity.

Equilibrium point or equilibrium temperature:

The outside ambient temperature at which the heat pump capacity matches the heating demand. It is therefore the
lowest outside temperature at which no additional heat source is needed. The heat pump can cover the entire
heating demand down to this outside temperature. For outside temperatures below this equilibrium temperature,
additional heat from the backup heater is required to fulfill the heating demand. During transient conditions at
system heat-up, the equilibrium point can shift to a higher temperature than the one it would be at during normal
operations.

 1.5. Supplementary Explanations
Design conditions:
The simulation is based on the assumption that the design room temperature is maintained 24h/24h. In actual
conditions, raising the room temperature setpoint above the design temperature will increase the heating demand
and thus the energy consumption. Lowering the room temperature setpoint (e.g. at night) will decrease the use of
energy.

Selection conditions:
The selection conditions for the LWT are adjustable in the program. Typical values are:
30 to 35°C (at design conditions) for floor heating,
30 to 45°C (at design conditions) for fan coil units and
40 to 50°C (at design conditions) for low temperature radiators.

Efficiencies of gas and oil boilers:

The efficiency values for gas and oil boilers used for comparative calculations are adjustable. The default
efficiencies are chosen to reflect the minimum requirements of the European Boiler Efficiency Directive 92/42/EC
for low temperature boilers.

Domestic warm water production:

The Daikin Altherma system can optionally be combined with a sanitary warm water tank for the preparation of
domestic warm water. The type of tank and its capacity can be selected in the simulation for the investment cost
calculation. The energy consumption for domestic warm water preparation is based on tapping profiles according
EN15450:2007 total energy consumption is expressed in kWh. The cold water temperature is assumed to be 10°C.

Information Fiche for Customers

Guidance for purchasing a heat pump

- information fiche for customers -

Warning! Read before purchasing

Efficient operation of this heat pump will only be ensured if the system is correctly matched to the heat loss of the
building and climate zone in which it is installed!
Always consult a competent installer and ask them to complete this fiche before purchasing!

This fiche should be completed by a qualified installer to provide you with information and recommendations about
the most suitable heat pump system for your home. In this way you will obtain the benefits of the very high
efficiency of heat pumps which concentrate the heat stored in the air, ground or water.

Some systems are also reversible and can produce cooling through extracting heat and ejecting it to the immediate
surroundings. Some systems may also provide hot water for sanitary use.

Heat pumps can be selected which can be used with most distribution systems including radiators, warm air and
under floor heating, and can be retrofitted to most existing heating systems with some suitable precautions as set
out below.

Reducing heat loss and solar gain of buildings

If your dwelling is more than 10 years old, before choosing a heat pump, it may be cost effective to first improve
your insulation, to reduce heat loss for heating you building or heat gain if you are looking to cool it. (It is actually
more efficient to fit a smaller heat pump in a well insulated building, for example) If you accept the installer’s
recommendations for improving insulation, the heat pump you buy should then be sized appropriately.

For further information on reducing heat loss or solar gain and sizing and installing heat pumps systems consult

Information Fiche for Installers

Guidance for installing a heat pump

- information fiche for installers -

Warning! Read before purchasing

Efficient operation of this heat pump requires a competent installer to design the heating system to match the heat
loss of the building and climate zone and to install the system in accord with the manufacturers instructions.

Heat pumps have a very high efficiency because they only use energy to concentrate the heat present in the
ground, water or air. Some models can also operate in reverse mode and produce cooling by rejecting heat from a
dwelling. The information contained in this fiche will enable you to ensure that the benefits of the heat pump unit
are carried over to the collector and distribution systems and to complete the fiche which shall be given to the
customer to explain your choice.

Specifying inlet and outlet temperatures (°C) LWC=34 (DT=5)
Energy efficiency ratio (cooling) 2,8
Specifying inlet and outlet temperatures (°C) LWE=18 (DT=5)

For retrofitting to existing heating systems, the heat pump should be selected to match the existing distribution
system which may be ducted warm air, hot water via radiators or underfloor heating. As the outlet temperature may
be lower than that of the boiler it will replace, it is essential to identify ways of reducing the heat loss or solar gain in
order to maintain the same size of distribution system.

Definitions

Coefficient of performance (COP) is the ratio of heat output to electricity input for a specified source and output
temperature.

Energy efficiency ratio (EER) is the ratio of cold output to electricity input for a specified source and output
temperature.

Seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) is the coefficient of performance averaged over the length of the
heating season for the heat pump system at a specified location.

Seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) is the energy efficiency ratio averaged over the length of the cooling
season for the heat pump system at a specified location.

The primary energy ratio (PER) is given by: COP × 0,40 (or COP/2,5) for heat pumps with electrically driven
compressors and by COP × 0,91 (or COP/1,1) for heat pumps with gas driven compressors, where 0,40 is the

current European average electricity power generation efficiency including grid losses and 0,91 is the current
European average gas efficiency including distribution losses.

The manufacturer shall provide programs, tools and guidelines to help you perform the following calculations.
Climatic data should be appropriate for the geographical location of the building.

2. Reducing the heat loss and solar gain of buildings

If the dwelling is more than 10 years old, then it will probably be cost effective to reduce the heat loss by increasing
the insulation level and to reduce the solar gain by restricting the direct rays of the sun during the summer. If the
customer accepts your recommendations then the system should be sized for the reduced heat loss and solar gain.

For further information on reducing heat loss or solar gain and sizing and installing heat pumps systems consult
www.kyotoinhome.info

3. Heat loss and sizing of the heating system

The heat loss of the building shall be calculated in accordance with national practice or using a suitable validated
computer program based on EN 832, the Euronorm for calculating heat loss. This heat loss should then be
compared with the current values required by building codes. For existing buildings, it is generally cost effective to
bring the insulation standard closer to current values before sizing the heat pump for the reduced heat loss.

Seasonal performance factor and energy consumption for heating

The calculation shall consider:
- climate (outdoor air temperature),
- design outdoor temperature,
- the variation of the ground-temperature over a year (for ground-source heat pumps, both with vertical and
horizontal collectors),
- desired temperature indoors,
- temperature level of hydronic heating systems,
- annual energy demand for space heating,
- annual energy demand for domestic hot water (if applicable),

Primary Energy Ratio (PER) and Annual CO2 emissions

The average efficiency for power/gas generation as well as electric grid/gas distribution losses to be used in the
calculation. CO2 emissions and savings to be calculated based on the primary energy usage.

4. Solar gain and sizing of the cooling system

If the system can also produce cooling then the solar gain of the building shall be calculated in accordance with
national practice or using a validated computer program. This gain should then be compared with the current
values required by building codes. For existing buildings, it is generally cost effective to reduce the solar gain
before sizing the heat pump for the reduced solar gain.

Seasonal energy efficiency ratio and energy consumption for cooling

The calculation shall consider:
- climate (outdoor air temperature),
- design outdoor temperature,
- the variation of the ground-temperature over a year (for ground-source heat pumps, both with vertical and
horizontal collectors),
- desired temperature indoors,
- temperature level of hydronic heating systems,
- annual energy demand for space cooling.
