WAHP Fuel Limitation
If a WAHP does both cooling and heating, how is the energy allocated? It doesn't appear possible to allocate it to BOTH cooling and heating since the user can only select one fuel, e.g. "Electricity - Cooling" OR "Electricity - Heating". Am I missing something?

Re: WAHP Fuel Limitation
Unfortunately, this is a current limitation.
However, in the VE2017 release the current fuels will be replaced by 'Energy end uses and meters'.
Under this scheme, a WAHP will have separate Heating energy meter and Cooling energy meter.
It will also be possible to distinguish between Space heating and Services water heating as the (heating) end use.
