Abstract
Combining solar thermal collectors and heat pumps into a single solar-assisted heat pump (SAHP) system is a promising technology for offsetting domestic hot water (DHW), space-heating, and cooling loads more efficiently. Task 44 of the Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) Programme of the International Energy Agency (IEA) is currently investigating ways to optimize solar and heat pump systems for residential use. This paper presents a review of past and current work conducted on SAHP systems. Specifically, the key performance data from many studies are highlighted and different system configurations are compared in order to establish insight toward which system configurations are suitable for the Canadian residential sector. It was found that the most suitable configuration for Canadian residential buildings depends on a combination of factors which include occupant behavior, building characteristics, operation parameters, system components, and climate. A large variety of configurations and parameters exist and this made analyzing a specific system, comparing differing systems and establishing an optimal design difficult. It was found that different authors used different performance criterion and this inconsistency also added to the difficulty of comparing the studies of different systems.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
