In a developer new build (energy efficiency class B, district heating) I have the choice between underfloor heating (basement hallway with one door) over the entire 45 sqm (standard, included anyway, without it is not possible), OR dividing the basement in the middle (then with 2 separate doors), and I could then set the temperature separately. Cost: €3,500.
I want to divide the basement anyway (either now directly or rebuild it myself later with drywall).
In one basement area (20 sqm) is then all the house technology and washer-dryer, photovoltaic storage, etc., and possibly some storage space and also planned some food supplies.
The other basement area/room is intended to be used as an occasional room, a small craft room or workshop, and I generally want that room to be heated.
a)
Does a separately controllable underfloor heating make sense so that I can simply keep the storage room cold, at around 15-18 degrees for example? And then set the other room generally or during use somewhat higher?
Or should I just simply take underfloor heating without a wall, later set up a wall myself and then permanently heat both rooms somewhat? -> Wouldn’t that be a big waste of heat and money, or is that hardly noticeable? Hence the question
b)
I have absolutely no feeling for what costs a 20 sqm basement room that is constantly somewhat heated generates in a year. Are we talking about €100 or €400 or even more? Rough estimate? If I leave the door open, the basement then also heats the ground floor a bit? Or hardly relevant?
c)
Is it even possible to set up a wall (drywall / no load) afterwards on a basement floor with underfloor heating? Or does that cause problems with the screed/fixing/expansion joints/damage to heating pipes etc?
The optional division is shown in the attachment.
