This PR simplifies the input sliders for the housing stock and heat demand for houses.

Implemented changes

  • Created new households sliders
  • Removed the existing households input
  • Changed the insulation sliders for households to be a reduction in % instead of the typical heat demand in kWh/m2

Also, changed priorities to accomodate for settings_weather_curves_set.ac
In this push are 5 new input sliders:
- New buildings (priority 2)
- Demolished buildings (priority 2)
- Insulation new buildings (priority 1)
- Insulation existing buildings (priority 1)
- Buildings heating behaviour (priority 0)

The old input keys are still there and are untouched.
Added a start value to share of new buildings per building type based on existing stock:
Created seperate queries in which the starting values are calculated

Changed the step value to 0.1 instead of 1 for:
Shares of new buildings
Shares of demolished buildings

Wrote descriptions for following inputs:
Shares of new buildings
Shares of demolished buildings

Chaned priorities:
Total_numbers 2 to 3
Shares of new/demolished 3 to 4

Wrote a demolished V2a, which is longer than V2 but it rounds number_of_units to integers. Also made sure to round to integers in V3

Ready for final review @mabijkerk.

The priority of the market share is 0 so it is set after all housing stock sliders. The number of units in the start year is always 0 as well. The reference to the households p2p can therefore be removed from all housing stock sliders. The QUERY FUTURE did not work, so it is replaced by referring to INPUT VALUES and AREA attributes.
@mabijkerk mabijkerk changed the title Simplified heat sliders - households Simplified heat sliders - built environment Aug 20, 2026
number_new_semi_detached = PRODUCT(share_new_semi_detached, number_of_new_units_future);

typical_heat_new_semi_detached_future = QUERY_FUTURE(-> { AREA(typical_useful_demand_for_space_heating_semi_detached_houses_future)});
typical_surface_area_per_unit_semi_detached = 147.709471392282;

These hardcoded values need to be replaced by dataset specific or model generic values with proper documentation in a next increment.
