When function heating, the temperature should be increased slowly. The idea is that the screed expands and contracts once, so you can see if it works or if it cracks.
There is nothing against going up to 40 or 50°C. Higher temperature means more water comes out. What you heat out now, you don’t have to get out later when you live inside.
A underfloor heating system needs exactly the supply temperature for which it is designed. And there are still plenty of general contractors and heating installers who, if the customer does not demand otherwise, take 38°C+ supply temperature, because then you can manage with significantly fewer pipes. This way, you can either offer it cheaper to the customer or earn more money.
Proper practice is there; there is no obligation to use 30°C supply temperature or less.
With your 270m² screed, about 3,000 liters of water were brought into the house, and that has to go out.
Tilt the windows open... may work, but not necessarily. Better to ventilate by opening windows fully 3-4 times a day and wipe dry.
In the end, I bought kitchen rolls and threw away the wet stuff; I couldn’t get soaking wet towels dry between ventilation intervals.
A heating device with 20kW of power obviously doesn’t run at 20kW all the time; it is temperature controlled because it has to maintain the 35°C target temperature.
Drying devices would cost you even more electricity... and you have to empty a drying device at least once, often several times a day.
Oh, by the way. Putting a heat pump on the screed—I have never seen that. The unit, including the 300-500L tank, weighs over half a ton.
PS:
And finally, 4 weeks longer until moving in will also easily cost you 1,500 EUR. Rent, construction period interest, possibly construction loan interest...
