Dear All, 

According to v4.1 do heat pumps belong to Tier1 category? If the energy will be provided in equal rate from boilers and heat pumps than we shoud calculate 50% renewable? Or this percentage has to be modified according to the heat pumps' COP? Thank You in advance for your help.

Heat pumps are not considered renewable energy, even if they are goundsource heat pumps sometimes erronously referred to as geothermal.
