New construction, wood-burning stove, nominal heat output, how now?

we are currently planning a new build and would also like to have a wood stove (i.e. a heating insert built with fireclay) in the open living/dining/kitchen area. The goal is to minimally relieve the air-water heat pump and create coziness.

Again: You are planning a new build according to today’s energy saving regulations and with a modern heating system. Before you can have any effect on the heating behavior of the system, you are either sitting naked on your tiled floor or have the windows wide open. The house will be well insulated and will store the heat well. Just let the heating be properly adjusted and do its job – your stove will bring you a few cozy hours, but it must and cannot support a modern heating system.

I would be interested in your opinion on the topic of storage stones.

Two options:
1) Fireplace surrounded by chamotte but without storage stones, with the possibility to also operate it occasionally open (glass stays closed, chimney designed for this)

2) Fireplace plus storage stones for heat storage (often about 6 hours are mentioned here), cannot be operated open

We want to build according to the energy saving ordinance probably without a ventilation system and want to use the fireplace primarily for romance and sometimes on weekends, so we tend towards 1). That’s not energy efficient, but with 2) I wonder what it really brings me in the insulated house to store the heat after a few hours of fireplace use for the night, where I’m anyway in the bedroom and my house doesn’t really cool down. Rather, the question is whether the storage gets enough heat at all after 2-3 hours.

Also, it is always said that a massive new building stores heat, which should be true in both cases, right?

It’s also clear that we would open the window if it’s too hot, so being able to sit in front of the open fireplace as a couple would not only have the effect of watching the fire but also a kind of heat regulation (significantly less heat release into the room).

What do you think? Feel free to share your opinions and experiences and please not “that’s how it’s always done!!”. What everyone does isn’t necessarily right or makes sense for everyone.

yes only these stoves with storage stones that are integrated into the heating system pay off only in 100 years. You need fuel anyway.

so again it's just romance and nothing to do with saving. At least I haven't noticed any savings nor have I ever tinkered with the heating system myself. too complex for me

Well, you can definitely relieve your heating system. For example, we also have additional regulators in every room, which allow us to help the heating a bit. If you really regularly fire up the stove, then you can lower the average temperature of the heating and set all the regulators in the house to 1. But then you also have to be consistent with the firing.

But that's complete nonsense. That doesn't relieve the heating system; instead, it gives it false feedback because there is no more return flow. It would actually be more sensible to open all the regulators and transport heat with the heating system when the air temperature > the supply temperature.

That is complete nonsense. You are not relieving the heating system, but rather deceiving it because there is no longer any return flow.

Why heat unnecessarily high? I am merely telling it that my room temperature should be lower; it still heats, just not as powerfully as 3 degrees warmer. Or have I misunderstood something about the technology?
