Double counting of depreciation costs

ETMoses contains several heating technologies that provide both space heating as well as hot water. Both applications of these technologies are modelled separately, meaning that a LES in ETMoses can e.g. contain both a Households space heater combined network gas and a Households water heater combined network gas, even though in real life this is a single apparatus. By default both 'technologies' in ETMoses will have costs assigned to them, leading to an overestimation of the depreciation costs. One way around it is to change the investment costs of one of the 'technologies' to 0. Note that the number of units for both 'technologies' is not necessarily the same. We recommend setting the investment costs of the least installed 'technology' to zero.
