ᐅ Which type of heat pump is most suitable for our new construction?

TripleBHello everyone,
I have been reading this forum for several months now and have been trying to form an opinion on various aspects of house construction, based on extensive research and discussions with "experts." For many topics, this has worked out quite well, but when it comes to heating, I am struggling. This field is so vast and has so many facets that it almost seems impossible to make a “right” or well-informed decision. With this in mind, I am reaching out to you today in hopes of receiving additional information regarding our specific building project, as I have learned from various threads here that it is not possible to make a general statement about which heating method is the “best.”
Basically, we have decided on a heat pump with controlled ventilation, but we are still unsure which type of heat pump would be most suitable.
Attached are the results from our energy consultation, and I would appreciate constructive feedback on which heat pump you would recommend for this setup.
If you need any further information, please let me know.
Best regards and many thanks in advance for your time and replies!

Hello,
This document serves exclusively as a primary energy proof to demonstrate the viability of the construction project (qualitative assessment), nothing more.
Furthermore, the specified brine heat pump is an outdated model and is no longer manufactured ;-)
A basic requirement assessment is missing here (actual demand in terms of capacity and energy for heating and domestic hot water). The actual energy demand is also needed to properly design the ground/source system!
Best regards.

first of all, where do you plan to build? This is one of the factors that determines whether a heat pump is even practical.

.. and you get four different opinions .... this discussion should become interesting ... Absolutely correct, it’s always like that as long as you’re operating in the dark, meaning no concrete results from a basic site investigation are available. This naturally leaves room for assumptions, estimates, and speculation ;-) And therefore also affects their reliability ;-) Regards
Thank you for the previous responses.
How do I carry out a fundamental assessment, and what details does it include? Or is this done by an energy consultant?
[QUOTE=Bauexperte]First of all, where do you want to build? This is important to determine, among other things, whether a heat pump even makes sense.[/QUOTE]
In Hesse, more precisely near Frankfurt am Main.
[QUOTE=Bauexperte]Yes, it would be helpful if you could also upload the results of the heating load calculation.[/QUOTE]
Unfortunately, I don’t have that. Who can create this for me and what does it cost?
[QUOTE=Bauexperte]And how was this decision made?[/QUOTE]
By essentially ruling out gas, as we primarily want to avoid reliance on fossil fuels.
In general, the question seems to be how to best approach this or who can provide the best advice. Is there any recommendation here?
I have read that consumer advice centers also offer energy consultations for 5 euros – is this any good, and does it help in making a decision?
Best regards,

Hello,
There is a missing fundamental assessment (actual demand (performance, energy) for heating and hot water). The actual energy demand is also needed to size the heat source!
