# Commission Decision of 1 March 2013 establishing the guidelines for Member States on calculating renewable energy from heat pumps from different heat pump technologies pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2013) 1082) (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/114/EU), Division 3.2: Outline of methodology

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

In accordance with Annex VII to the Directive, the amount of renewable energy supplied by heat pump technologies (ERES) shall be calculated with the following formula:
E RES = Q usable * 1 − 1 ∕ SPF Q usable = H HP * P rated Where:
— Qusable the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps [GWh],
— HHP equivalent full load hours of operation [h],
— Prated capacity of heat pumps installed, taking into account the lifetime of different types of heat pumps [GW],
— SPF the estimated average seasonal performance factor (SCOPnet or SPERnet).
Default values for HHP and conservative default SPF values are set out in Tables 1 and 2 in Section 3.6.
