Hello,

I am new to the forum – first of all, many thanks to all the experts.
We are building a KfW 70 house this year, with a living area of approximately/max 150 m² (1615 sq ft).

Some time ago, we were advised by IBG Haus, where the standard system used is a Nibe F370 exhaust air heat pump.

According to the consultant, IBG Haus purchases this system at favorable conditions, making it a more sensible choice than our previously preferred system:

Gas condensing boiler with underfloor heating and solar panels on the roof.

Instead, IBG recommends the exhaust air heat pump combined with controlled ventilation and underfloor heating.

Therefore, my questions to you are:

1. Is an exhaust air heat pump energy-efficient?
2. Would our gas option be better or more sensible?
3. Who has experience with NIBE?
4. Who has experience with this technology or specifically this system?
5. Who has experience with IBG and this technology?
6. What are the disadvantages of this technology? It must always require electricity, right?

Note: I can recognize posts from other home builders and manufacturers within 10 cm (4 inches), so please don’t bother with bashing. It’s a waste of YOUR time!

Many thanks in advance to all genuine advisors!

First of all, none in particular, because the choice of manufacturer or unit depends on the necessary calculations such as heating load and heating surface area. Additionally, the requirements (capacity, energy) for domestic hot water preparation need to be clarified. Once the technical parameters (requirements) are determined, the appropriate unit is selected based on the manufacturers’ performance curves.

Best regards

Read the previous post again, then it becomes clear that this question cannot be answered reliably. Unless one ventures into the realm of speculation. However, whether this is helpful when considering the investment costs is something I would doubt.

Best regards.
