Hello everyone!
Yes, that is the statement from my building planner that has been occupying my mind for quite a while now and with which I am not really willing to settle, especially considering the existence of exactly such houses along with the certificate I desire.
But briefly to the key data of our planned single-family house, hopefully including the relevant values here:
- 2 full floors with expanded and habitable attic (35-degree gable roof) with a total of 220 sqm heated area without basement
- heated building volume: 828 cubic meters
- usable area according to the Energy Saving Ordinance: 265 sqm
- primary energy demand QP: 61.02
- transmission heat loss HT: 0.337
- ventilation heat loss HV: 128.35 W/K
The whole thing will be realized with the following technology and insulation:
- gas condensing boiler with solar for hot water (and possibility of heating support)
- controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery
- orientation of the house: SSW/NNO
- exterior masonry 365 aerated concrete, WLG 035, U= 0.229
- pitched roof U= 0.19 (currently 20cm insulation between rafters)
- ground floor slab U= 0.298
- aluminum front door U= 1.3
- triple-glazed windows U= 0.84
As a result, the KfW70 standard is met in terms of transmission heat loss. However, the annual primary energy demand still leaves something to be desired.
When I asked how the last approximately 11 required kWh could still be saved in a (also economically) reasonable way, I received the rather general answer: "with a heat pump or a pellet boiler." But I have deliberately chosen conventional gas and do not want to deviate from that. Moreover, I suspect that this is hardly the only solution, but simply the easiest one.
So before I take the (already planned) step to an energy consultant, I would like to ask the experts here in the forum whether my prospects would really be so bleak if I stick with gas as the primary energy source.
Oh, and… the house is not being built by a developer/general contractor/general planner. So I am relatively flexible in purchasing. Only the cost/benefit factor should be maintained somewhere.
Finally, in advance, the answer to the question: "Why KfW70?"
I am aware that a KfW85 house can have a lower energy demand than a KfW70 house. Much of this can be cleverly calculated (keyword heat pumps). But ultimately, it is the "good feeling" of being able to prove at any time with a certificate that one owns a particularly energy-efficient house. How paradoxical that sounds... Ultimately, I just want to get the best possible energy standard for my budget.
Best regards
