Sorry for bringing up the old topic, but we are facing a similar issue:
We are currently building a new house with a relatively large basement. One area will be used exclusively for technology, storage, tools, etc. The other rooms are intended to be used in a more "livable" way (laundry room, fitness room, WC, playroom for children, etc.). Our architect advised us to install underfloor heating in the basement (at least for the livable rooms), as already done on the ground floor and upper floor. Heating is provided by an air-to-water heat pump.
Now I am wondering to what extent the basement will be heated permanently (unnecessarily?) later on or if it is possible and sensible to heat it only as needed and when in use with ERR. The problem with underfloor heating is that it is rather sluggish and cannot quickly heat a room. The alternative would be to heat the basement permanently regardless of whether the rooms are used that day or not, which, however, probably is not ecologically sensible and also rather costly.
I would appreciate experiences or advice on this.
