# 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 3.6: Default values for SPF and Qusable for heat pumps

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

The default values for HHP and SPF (SCOPnet) for electrically driven heat pumps are as set out in the table below:

The default values set out in Tables 1 and 2 above are typical for the segment of heat pumps with a SPF above the minimum threshold, meaning that heat pumps with SPF below 2,5 have not been taken into consideration when the typical values have been established.
