Do you have the air conditioning on? It also dehumidifies...

The perceived temperature also depends on the humidity. The past weeks we almost continuously had east wind, also warm and pleasant. This morning everything was still damp and muggy from the thunderstorm, at just over 20 degrees it was no longer fun.

I know. But nothing works without air conditioning. Welcome to the passive house.
However, we had the problem with low humidity long before we turned on the air conditioning.

No shading?
How about cooling via the floor?
This does not remove any humidity!


That has nothing to do with it. Actually, quite the opposite.

But good that the enthalpy exchanger is ordered!

Yes, but since we go in and out a lot, the blinds would be constantly moving. That’s why the decision was made in favor of air conditioning. Cooling via the floor has been discussed extensively here in the forum. It causes cold feet but no cool head. The passive house is designed for maximum heat storage and with 6m floor-to-ceiling windows facing west in the open plan area, it’s like an oven. It heats up very quickly, even in winter. As mentioned, the temperature is controlled by the air conditioning. Hopefully the air humidity will soon be regulated by the EWT.

You can then work well with canopies, umbrellas, sun sails, or plants like trees.


Basically, that is wrong at first.
It is true that the floor naturally has to be somewhat cooler than the room air in order to cool it.
However, one works with small temperature differences so that the floor does not become unpleasantly cold and at the same time the room air is pleasantly tempered.

Of course, there are many fans of air conditioning here, but mostly the advantage of dehumidification is emphasized, which in this case is actually disadvantageous.


That is not correct.
A passive house is well insulated.
As a result, it correctly retains heat well inside, but at the same time it also prevents heat from outside from entering inside.


Sounds a bit like poor planning, but can be well corrected with the points mentioned above.


The EWT can only recover moisture that is inside the house.
If the air conditioning continues to remove moisture, it will be difficult for the EWT to do its work.
