You don't necessarily have to rotate the entire house for something like this, but the architect can have free rein within the specifications of the LRA. That's what they are there for.
: honestly? I am completely on the side of the LRA. It looks like, on the one hand, you have the device standing very close to the house; and at the same time, there is a very small distance there to the neighboring property. It does not matter at all how far the neighbor's house is from the boundary.
If there is no structural space, there is no structural space.
Maybe choose a different heat pump: Instead of an outdoor heat pump, choose a split unit. The line could be up to 30 m long, so the outdoor unit can be placed at the front towards the street.
The fashion of designing one's heating system in such a way that a separate neighbor nuisance module is placed in the front yard is, in my opinion, clownish nonsense that perverts setback distances. I am grateful for every district administrator who does not tolerate this.
I was just walking in the new development area again over the weekend, and there were heat pumps that I could still hear at 15 meters distance. In such a dense development, I would not install such a device.
Fifteen meters and densely built? – "I wish," I would say: I hold up fifty meters, towards a row of undeveloped plots on a slight slope descending toward the pedestrian. As far as I felt, some kind of "transformer hum on the verge of dying" had to come from one of the streetlights. Approaching a single-family house, a chunk the size of an air conditioner revealed itself as the culprit.
In which direction do you want to place the heat pump? Our heat pump can only be heard from the direction it blows air. From all other directions, hardly anything is audible. Therefore, it should not blow towards the neighbor, and apart from the side from which it needs air, I also think Einhausen is a good idea.
Those who are croaking here about having perceived a heat pump somewhere towards the public area should consider that the builder did everything right: facing the street with it and not towards the neighbors!
