Add heating curve #98

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • Supply and return temperatures are currently not available in the demand forecasting tool.
  • COP calculations for heat pumps therefore lack temperature-level consistency.
  • District heating configurations (e.g., different temperature regimes) cannot be compared properly.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Add supply temperature as an output feature.
  • Derive supply temperature from a linear heating curve f(outdoor temperature, zone temperature).
  • Set heating curve automatically based on building year and retrofit status.
  • Calculate return temperature from current heat demand assuming fixed mass flow.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Implement a physically meaningful ΔT logic between supply and return temperature (e.g., characteristic temperature spread depending on building type).

Additional context

  • Required for consistent COP estimation of heat pumps.
  • Enables comparison of district heating temperature levels.
  • Relevant for retrofit assessment and network configuration studies.
