Your current heating consumption

Our consumption is now down to around 10 m³ of gas per day. As soon as all the windows are in... The heating is still not set correctly, the hydraulic balancing is still missing and a few other things. I think we could get down to 5 m³... at least, that's what I hope.

Gas consumption is between +5 and +10 degrees at 3 - 3.5m³ and between -5 and -10 at about 5 - 5.5 m³ per day... I reported the first meter readings last week:

1635 m³ gas (of which 740m³ is still from floor screed drying)
2240 kWh electricity (of which 460 kWh construction electricity)

too much for my taste


after 1 year we took readings 2 weeks ago.

air-water heat pump, kfw70 with about 200m2 living area and 248m2 usable area, which is currently also still being heated as there are no doors, including hot water.

room temperature at least 23 degrees, rather 23.5

5800kwh electricity consumed, of which about 1000 was from the drying program that ran for about 14 days but was then stopped because there is no screed in the house.

Huh???? Started the drying program and then realized there is no screed in the house?

No, the drying program was only started to remove moisture from walls and tiles and as a test run for the heat pump.

Those are good numbers, aren't they? What do you mean by "only gas heating," no solar, no RWG? How do you then meet the requirements of the Renewable Energy Heat Act?

I actually still find the gas values too high... The reason is that a 24 kW gas boiler was installed here, even though the heating load was calculated at just under 4.8 kW. So it cycles quite a bit... for now, we’re living with it because the heating company is from the family. I’m therefore still curious about the first real billing from the municipal utilities and what the heating + hot water preparation will actually cost me monthly. But the summer months have made themselves felt here; I turned off the underfloor heating and only had hot water on. From mid-May to mid-September, I only consumed 80 m³ of gas (I think about 0.5-0.6 m³ daily).

And exactly for that reason, I gave up on solar, photovoltaics, RWG. The cost for the 80 m³ of gas for the summer has to be recovered first.

Our electricity consumption—why, I don’t know—is apparently in the lower average range. When we moved out of our apartment (75 sqm) last year, we had a monthly electricity bill of 38 euros. The annual consumption was 1200 kWh. After moving into the house, I had the worst fears, but around 1800 kWh is still okay... despite a 50% increase. But that’s probably also due to my partner being on parental leave...

Oh, we are 4 people (2 adults, 1 x 7 years, 1 x 1.5 years).

I just read up on the EEWG for the first time. I suppose it was about the compensatory measures (insulation)... meaning the house is 15 percent below the legal requirements. Since we didn’t build according to a KfW standard, I honestly haven’t really dealt with it.
