# Specifications for non-independent home version 01-01-2025

The WWS points are calculated based on a set of 13 rules for which specific inputs should be added. Before adding the inputs, the following information needs to be read in order to apply the correct input to the API and get the correct calculation of the WWS points.

### 1. Surface Area of Rooms

#### 1.1 Requirements

Rooms must meet the same requirements as outlined in the 01-07-2024 documentation to be classified as 'room' type rather than 'other' type.

#### 1.2 Calculation Method

* **Points calculation**: `surface_area (rounded) / shared_addresses / shared_spaces`
* **Surface tracking**: Also adds to `surface_area_rooms_attributable` for energy calculations
* **No attic deduction**: Unlike 01-07-2024, no explicit attic penalty mentioned for rooms

#### 1.3 Inputs needed:

* `type_of_room` (must be 'room')
* `surface_area`
* `shared_addresses`
* `shared_spaces`

***

### 2. Surface Area of Other Spaces

#### 2.1 Requirements

Other spaces must meet the same requirements as outlined in the 01-07-2024 documentation.

#### 2.2 Calculation Method

* **Points calculation**: `surface_area (rounded) × 0.75 / shared_addresses / shared_spaces`
* **Attic penalty**: If `attic_without_fixed_staircase` is True, points for that specific item are capped at `5.0 / shared_addresses / shared_spaces`

#### 2.3 Inputs needed:

* `type_of_room` (must be 'other')
* `surface_area`
* `shared_addresses`
* `shared_spaces`

All heating points are divided by `shared_addresses / shared_spaces`.
