City villa approx. 150 sqm on 500 sqm plot

We had a fireplace in a rental apartment. Sure, the fireplace gives off heat but you can also use it properly as a "Schwedenkamin" (just for viewing, not heating the house). By saying "I don't want to heat," I mean that I don't want to get a tiled stove that heats up the place. Just one to sit around cozily.

There are not only heating fireplaces. A fireplace can also simply be there to bring some coziness into the house. I never said that I wanted to heat with it or anything like that.

you can also use this as a "Swedish fireplace" with proper use (so just for looking, not heating the house).

Even with Swedish humor, a real wood-burning stove inevitably produces waste heat with every pleasant-to-watch fire, which will simply be surplus in an energy saving ordinance thermal shell. That’s why I recommend a fake fireplace to those who absolutely must have a fireplace: behind the LED flat screen (behind the fireplace glass door) works a Dolby Surround system for the crackling sound, the authentic irregularity of flickering and crackling is provided with negligible waste heat by a random generator on a Raspberry Pi, programmed by a run-of-the-mill teenager. If you regularly dust the stocked logs, no one will notice.

I don’t really understand that.

Here you have a historic town villa with a floor plan varied from slightly rectangular instead of square, and you now seem to be stuck in a misperception: apparently the floor plan looks to you as if you had widened the ten-by-ten to eleven-by-ten — but in fact, you shortened it to nine-by-ten. Therefore, fewer wishes fit into this area, not more. And I repeat my question, tentatively with other words: on what basis do you place, for example, a chimney if you have not yet decided on a roof shape (and consequently the position of ridges or hips is also unknown)? By the way, you can find functioning floor plans in this size at Massivhaus Mittelrhein, who are one of my favorites.

Even with Swedish humor, a real wood stove inevitably produces waste heat with every cozy fire, which will simply be excess in an energy-saving regulation thermal envelope. That’s why I recommend a fake fireplace to those who stubbornly insist on having a fireplace: behind the LED flat screen (behind the wood stove glass door) operates a Dolby Surround system for the crackling sound, the authentic irregularity of flickering and cracking is provided with negligible waste heat by a random generator on a Raspberry Pi, programmed by an ordinary teenager. If you regularly dust the stocked logs, no one will notice.

Seriously?

I believe this is an unnecessary discussion. If someone wants to have a fireplace, that should be accepted. One should simply point out the problems that arise and one's own experiences and leave it at that. What is the use of presenting one's arguments for the tenth time? I personally also find a fireplace very nice. We currently live in a semi-detached house built to energy saving regulation standards and have a Swedish stove with 8KW. It is lit in the evening with 3 logs and then I add two more logs twice. With that, I have a very pleasant warmth all evening that I cannot get with heating.

Seriously?

Yes. With the one after next iPhone you can then unplug the Raspberry, then the fake fireplace show planned by the app will come on.

I think this is an unnecessary discussion.

No, and every good discussion also involves someone with an opposing position to that of the "11ant / Nordlys faction"

If someone wants a fireplace, then this should also be accepted.

But not let someone walk into a trap whose fireplace experience was gathered in pre-energy saving regulation houses. Do you compensate your 3/1/1 logs with a night setback or something like that?

Even if probably wants to lynch me now, that's what your room thermostat is for, right? We also installed a floor sensor that prevents the floor from cooling down completely when the stove is heated for an extended period.
