Conclusion new heat pump sizing tool illustrates this approach. It allows professionals to easily and quickly size a heat pump for any individual residential construction or renovation project, in accordance with RE 2012 and RE 2020. Its intuitive design collects, step by step, the data necessary to to recommend the solution best suited to the energy needs of the building. The tool is available free of charge on the elmLeCube digital platform (https://www.elmlecube.fr) and on the Bosch Pro Zone (https://www.pro.bosch-climate.fr/).

- Convenient, the professional can save his form and, at any time, modify the data entered. At the end of the process, he can visualize at a glance all the key figures, embellished with graphs. For an appointment with his client, he can also download the elements in PDF, by pre-selecting the information he wishes to see appear: complete or simplified. The document provides him with additional information such as energy consumption data and savings achieved with this solution, noise levels or performance data.
