Hello everyone,
I would like to know your professional opinion on where there is still potential to optimize our natural gas consumption. It feels like and is also measured against the calculated energy demand that we consume too much.
Initial situation:
approx. 185 sqm living space
2 full floors, no basement,
flat roof, 20 cm insulation between rafters WLG 035 plus on average 9 cm insulation above rafters with slope
with attached double garage (not heated) and heated technical room extension within the thermal envelope, otherwise no bay windows, projections, or similar
Masonry: 20 cm sand-lime brick + 16 cm ETICS WLG 032
Gas condensing boiler Brötje WGB Evo 20 G with Q = 2.9 - 20.0 kW
approx. 16 sqm solar thermal (in operation since 24.04.19) with heating support
Buffer storage with 1,000 liters volume
Central controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery (in operation only since 04.10.19, thus negligible)
Comfort setpoint 25°C, reduced setpoint 18°C, heating curve at 0.64, hot water at 60°C
Night setback between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Temperatures at 22°C in the living area, 22.5°C in bathroom 1, 21°C in bathroom 2, hallway 21°C, bedroom heating basically off, children’s room and office approx. 20°C.
2 adults who shower daily in a normal frame and 1 toddler (3.5 years old), bathing max. once a week
Consumption from Nov. 2018 to Nov. 2019 around 1,250 cubic meters of gas, roughly 12,500 kWh. This now includes cooking with gas, here I estimate no more than 100 cubic meters. In my opinion, this is already quite a lot.
Calculated consumption without controlled residential ventilation would be around 10,000 kWh, so the consumption is about 1,500 kWh too high.
In your opinion, where is the greatest optimization potential?
What do you think of Brötje?
Best regards
