Dear forum,
after having browsed here for quite some time, I am all the more impressed by how much competent help/advice there is here. Therefore, I hope that one or the other of you can evaluate our current status of house planning, as I have already heard very different opinions from various sides.
We are planning a Mediterranean house with about 140m^2 of living space without a basement. It would be built by the construction company as follows: exterior walls made of Poroton masonry with a thickness of 36.5 cm and plastered in two layers. As heating, there would be a gas condensing boiler with an approx. 5 m^2 solar system. The entire building will be heated with underfloor heating. Since we also own a piece of forest, we would additionally heat with a tiled stove, which, however, is not connected to the normal heating system. Without considering the tiled stove, the house meets the KFW 100 standard. We are now not really sure whether the additional investment and thus the higher interest rates will pay off in the long term to bring the house up to the Kfw70 standard. What do you think?
