Most air conditioners here have the ability to both heat and cool

Technically, a unit that can either cool a building, or heat it by
cooling outdoor air and transferring heat to indoor air, is a heat
pump rather than an air conditioner.
And the common use term is 'air conditioner'.
Some cooling only units are heat pumps - they work in humid
environments
where evaporative coolers fail. Places in deserts or near deserts use
the evaporative coolers (Alice Springs, Australia) while those in
tropical areas use heat pumps (Darwin, Australia)... what suits the
circumstance gets used.

If you buy a unit marketed as an air conditioner, rather than as a heat pump,
and expect to use it for heating as well as cooling, you are likely to be
disappointed. In the USA, at least, heat pump is the standard marketing term
for the units that can pump heat in either direction, and air conditioner is
the standard marketing term for the units that only pump heat from indoors to
outdoors.
Not in Australia... and in the UK?

Why do you consider heated and cooled an 'interesting
characteristic' and how do you see it being rendered on to a map?
Is it more 'important/significant' than the suggested temperature
values? If so .. why has it not been proposed?
It's been proposed.
Where is the link to the past proposal for air conditioning or heat pump
or heated or cooled ?
