How stupid are our building regulations for energy saving, when they focus almost entirely on heat loss in the cold seasons and hardly at heat dissipation in the warm months? The energy saved in winter is consumed in summer for additional air conditioning, since the houses can no longer be cooled once the heat is inside. Can't this be done smarter starting from the regulations themselves?
Whereas in summer at least the electricity from photovoltaics can be used for the air conditioning, in winter photovoltaics do not provide anything for the heat pump.
...if you planned in advance to fully air-condition your new building, would you still need a controlled residential ventilation system at all?
Couldn't the air conditioning system just as well take over the task of the controlled residential ventilation?
How is that supposed to work? An air conditioner only cools the air inside the house, a ventilation system exchanges the air inside the house for air from outside. Those are two different things.

Ok, but how can an air conditioner then dehumidify the room air?
