Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Ever driven for 2-3 hours with the fan on? You get tired pretty quickly, very unhealthy.
What comprehensive measures for flue gas cleaning are required in Germany for living room fireplaces?

Just have a look at the BImSchV.
And starting from 2024, only stoves according to Stage 2 of the BImSchV are allowed to be operated.

A village is defined by the fact that it is small and there is nothing for a long distance around it. So there should be enough opportunity to air out again. Or simply pay the toll and enjoy the healthy traffic emissions ;)

We just had a thread here where someone wanted a ventilation system with an activated carbon filter because a lot of wood is still used for heating in the village and it smells horrible in winter? I was told, as a little fool, that this is just how it is when you heat with wood... By the way, it is not 2024 yet...

When heating with wood, a lot depends on what you burn (dry, wet, some leftover wood, trash) and how you burn it. The stove plays a certain role, but the user is much more important. If the user overloads the stove and allows air supply or the stove cannot draw enough air (keyword airtight house), it will smoke and stink even with the best wood.

I haven't read that. No idea where that is supposed to be. In our village, a lot of wood is also used for heating and nothing stinks horribly here. Feel free to drop by;)

Our neighbors renovated their house, installed an air heat pump, and yet they are having the formerly removed chimney rebuilt because they are getting a fireplace as a second heating option.

I don't know how much wood heating is used in the area. But the parents-in-law have a fireplace, and on vacation, we like to book accommodations with a fireplace. So far, I haven't noticed a smell. But well, that's subjective and my experience.

By the way, a miracle has happened here. After weeks of searching, a construction company is actually coming to us this week; they are interested in the contract to renovate our ground floor. They called back. To think you can still experience something like this :cool:.
