Hello everyone,
we are currently planning our semi-detached house and are dealing with the positioning of the outdoor unit of the air heat pump. The previous idea was to place the air heat pump in the carport (see picture, left dark gray area, to the left of the house). I think the air heat pump will take up about 1 width of the carport, making parking tight. In addition, the fan’s blower will be obstructed if the car is parked directly in front of it. The air heat pump will probably not be able to operate optimally.
Positioning in front of the house is also ruled out, as the path from the front door to the carport would not be open otherwise. Besides, I don’t necessarily want to see the thing every time I am standing in front of the house. The idea now is to place the air heat pump on the carport roof, see picture.
Questions:
Air heat pump: Daikin Altherma 3 R 8kw (Dimensions (W x D x H): 884 x 388 x 740 mm)
a few additional key data about the air heat pump:
Thanks in advance.

Questions:
[*]4m to the left of the air heat pump is the window of the children’s room. Above the air heat pump is the bedroom window. Will it be audible with the window open when the air heat pump is running at full load? I think it should not be audible during normal operation.
[*]Opposite the air heat pump is a side wall of a semi-detached house, about 7-8m away. The blower of the air heat pump will be directed at this side wall. On the air heat pump side, the neighbor’s house has the kitchen window on the ground floor and the bathroom window on the upper floor. The air heat pump should not be acoustically perceptible from there with the windows open either, am I correct?
[*]Any other suggestions for positioning?

a few additional key data about the air heat pump:
[*]Sound pressure level heating (at 1 m distance): 49 dB (A)
[*]Sound pressure level cooling (at 1 m distance): 50 dB (A)
[*]Sound pressure level whisper mode 2/3 (measured at 3m distance): 47.5/34.5 dB(A)
[*]Sound power level heating: 62 dB (A)
[*]Sound power level cooling: 62 dB (A)
[*]Sound power level whisper mode 2/3: 59/52 dB (A)
Thanks in advance.
