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.

In my opinion, it needs to be clarified why the development plan allegedly requires an enclosure. This can only be related to noise emissions. In that case, simply buy a correspondingly quiet unit that does not require an enclosure.
An air-source heat pump has a very high airflow, which should not be obstructed. Any enclosure is a compromise and comes with certain efficiency losses. During the warranty period, I would only use enclosures offered or approved by the pump manufacturer.
