As someone who is deeply frustrated with their HVAC this stood out to me. A new home should have exterior insulation. Plus the solar panels plus "efficient heat pumps". I would expect it to perform very well.

I'm curious to know the square footage and how much power is being used. Did you have a blower door test done when the home was constructed?

5200 sqft. There are 5 heat pumps which seem to combine for an average 10kW power usage, with considerably less variation through the day than I would expect.

Yes, they did blower door tests.
