Hello,
we are currently in the early stages of planning the layout of the individual rooms. As it stands, it seems practical to place the utility room next to two bedrooms.
I am wondering if this is a good idea or if the noise generated in the utility room will be too loud.
The planned equipment includes:
Water distribution
Inverter for the photovoltaic system
Heat pump (either air-to-water heat pump with a split unit or ground-source heat pump)
Controlled mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
Storage space for miscellaneous items
This area is definitely planned to be constructed using a timber frame system. I am thinking it should definitely have double studs with mineral wool insulation in between. I would handle the interior construction (timber frame walls) myself. The door will certainly need a gap or similar for air exchange, and right next to it at a 90° angle will be the door to the bedroom.
What do you think? How loud is the noise level likely to be? Can it be insulated well enough to ensure good sleep?
Regards
Specki

it might be recommended
...If it’s only “recommended,” I would follow the advice of the previous commenters. If, for whatever reasons unknown to us, there is no other option, you will have to try to live with the noises that might be heard in your bedrooms. There are also people who live near airport runways or next to freight trains passing by night after night.
We currently still have an oil heating system from 2001, which we could hear in the bedroom (we could relocate the bedroom, but for other reasons we don’t want to), but we have gotten so used to it that we no longer notice it.

Personally, I had noted to consider a limestone wall or something similar here.

Hello Katja,
Thank you very much!
The house layout you designed isn’t exactly what we’re looking for, BUT it definitely brought some great ideas to the table! Of course!
Technical room on the lower floor, two children’s bedrooms upstairs plus a storage room. A study on the ground floor.
The kids would first use the study on the ground floor as a bedroom, and when they’re older, each would get their own room upstairs.
That would be a good option.
I like the drawings—what software is that? I’m guessing it’s not freeware...
We’re currently experimenting with Sweet Home 3D, but it’s not ideal, especially when it comes to sloped roofs.
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Specki
