I have the following problem: We want to build a KfW house with an air source heat pump. Now the builder says the air source heat pump cannot be installed because the development plan requires it to be enclosed. Are there air source heat pumps that are not allowed to be installed without an enclosure? Should the builder have informed me about this?
That’s it for now... I hope to get some answers here.

The heat pump is not sealed in with "walls," but can even be attractively covered. Just search for heat pump enclosures online and get some inspiration.
I can’t say for sure if all heat pumps are suitable for this, but I would assume so.

Enclosures for heat pumps are completely normal, although rarely encountered. Huh? The heat pump must be installed fully exposed to operate efficiently, according to the manufacturer's instructions! Everything is explained there.

Everything is detailed there.Yep, that’s why there are specially designed enclosures to ensure the heat pump gets enough airflow. It can look like this: Similar topics
