- Heat demand (kWh/m²/yr): Heat demand defaults to country-typical (NO/SE/FI 130–140, IT 80, ES/PT/GR 60).
- COP: COP for air-to-air typically 3–4; air-to-water ~3; ground-source up to 4.5.
- Bidding zone: Electricity price is the 30-day rolling average for DE-LU; excludes grid fees + taxes.
- We compare vs direct electric only since gas/oil/district heating prices vary too much regionally.
