Do AI algorithms for heat pumps consider the parasitic costs of defrosting in humid environments?

Will the AI algorithm consider the parasitic costs of defrosting in humid environments? In NI we have a humid maritime climate and the amount of defrosting of HPs seems quite high.

If it's using the right data that includes that effect, then it should be able to. Note that there's some useful 2-minute resolution monitoring data for hundreds of heat pumps in UK homes available here: https://github.com/ES-Catapult/electrification_of_heat
