  "heading": "Methodology Principles",
  "text": "The methodology follows three main principles:\n(a) the methodology has to be technically sound;\n(b) the approach must be pragmatic, balancing accuracy and cost-effectiveness;\n(c) the default factors for establishing the contribution of renewable energy from heat pumps are set at a conservative level to lower the risk of overestimating the contribution of renewable energy from heat pumps.\nMember States are encouraged to improve the conservative default values by adapting them to national/regional circumstances, including the development of more accurate methodologies. Such improvements should be reported to the Commission and made publicly available.",
