My turn, this describes the future installation, only the heat pump and UFH are operational at the moment.
Manufacturer: LG
Model: HM163HF.UB60
Type: ASHP 16kW Monobloc R290
Arrangement: Low temp HP + wood boiler backup
Area of Country: Lyon, France
Home Type: House
Size: Square Metres: 380
Insulation Level: R=5.7 walls, R=7 roof
Heat Loss Calculation: 8-12kW @ Amb. Temp, of: -7C
Type of Controller: Modulating
Type of Control: Weather Compensation, Flow Temperature, Room Temperature
System Type: UFH, Radiant ceilings, Fan coils for cooling
Total Output of Heat Emitters: Way more than necessary. Concrete slabs alone can store at least 30kW and release through the day.
Buffer Tank or Low Loss Header: 1000l tank with instant DHW coil used as Buffer on wood boiler, heat pump will heat it for DHW also. For regular heating, heat pump direct to slabs & radiant ceilings.
Secondary Pumps: 2 most likely
Solar PV System: 12kWp
Power Diverter: Yes for EV charging, soon for heat pump
Battery System: 20kWh
