Hello knowledgeable ones,
we are planning the construction of a single-family house in which an air heat pump will be used. Probably it will be a THZ504 or the smaller model, depending on the energy demand which has yet to be calculated.
The intended installation location is in the basement, whereby the supply air for the compact system is taken in through a ventilation grille in the exterior wall at a height of 2 meters. So far so good.
Purely for my understanding, I have a question regarding the installation location of this intake.
Does it make a difference whether the fresh air is drawn in from the south or the shaded north? Currently, it is planned that the supply air will be taken in at the nearest point. That would be the driveway, which faces south. I can imagine that it gets quite warm there in summer due to the paving stones and garage door and that the heat lasts longer. Does it make sense here to accept a small surcharge and place the intake behind the house in the north? The air should be cooler there due to the lawn area and the shade. However, these would also be arguments against it in winter.
As I said: purely for my understanding – my wife is already shaking her head about all the things I am thinking about. :) o_O
Thanks in advance for your input.
