- I think you misunderstood something here; the controlled residential ventilation is not for heating. The coils only ensure that the incoming air is not too cold, nothing more. Whether there is something more energy-efficient for that, I don’t know, but I did not want electric heating rods in the controlled residential ventilation and I already had water. - The towel dryer may have its own small circuit (e.g. with a heat exchanger), but the mixing valve at least has a magnet attached so that no metal debris gets into the underfloor heating. - About the supply temperature, you misunderstood again; I said the gas boiler produces 45 degrees, not that the underfloor heating runs at 45 degrees. Please read carefully again.I question the "scheme" from . I assert: - The water heating coil for the controlled residential ventilation is not really necessary, significantly less efficient than underfloor heating, and involves additional investment costs that do not pay off. - If I understood correctly, there is a mixing valve, but the water from the underfloor heating still mixes with the radiator water in the end, which is not so good because radiators cause dirt. - Even though with gas it’s not as dramatic as with a heat pump, 45 degrees supply temperature is unnecessary, especially since the underfloor heating does not need it in a house built according to today’s energy saving ordinance standard. They are only maintained because of the towel radiator. Anyone worried that the bathroom won’t get warm enough should simply have it properly designed. And if the room-specific heat load calculation shows that the bathroom doesn’t reach the desired temperature at the desired supply temperature, then have the pipes laid closer together and instead of the towel radiator have a few meters of pipe mounted on the wall. In the end, that probably doesn’t cost more than the radiator plus the required mixing valve and without the mentioned disadvantages.
