Good morning everyone,
I wanted to ask what your house’s electricity consumption is at night when everything is quiet and sleeping, so what is running continuously?
We have a newly built house, moved in summer 2019. Our building services include underfloor heating (air-to-water heat pump), controlled mechanical ventilation (runs at full power 3 times a day for 2 hours each, then reduced), a photovoltaic system, and otherwise the usual nighttime appliances (phone charger plugged into USB outlet, e-bikes charging occasionally, 2 TVs on standby, Alexas on standby, etc.).
At night, we have a continuous consumption of about 232W (with ventilation running at reduced power and when the heat pump is not producing). I can see this in the app for the photovoltaic system. From 0:00 to 6:30 a.m. we consume about 2.8 kWh.
How about you?
Best regards

Usually, it wasn’t necessary either. Well-sealed houses/apartments have only been built for a few decades.
On the other hand, complaints from tenants increase as soon as a house/apartment is upgraded to meet current standards (i.e., energy retrofit), and they have never learned to ventilate six times a day. With all the consequences. It simply wasn’t necessary before, as the air and moisture found their way out on their own.

Ventilating six times a day is just fearmongering.
At the beginning, we certainly aired out the rooms properly 2-3 times a day. Now, depending on how much the room is used, we average 1-2 times daily. There is no mold at all. The humidity levels are all fine.
The child also has the annoying habit of chatting with the neighbor’s kids in the doorway or quickly running outside without closing the door. This is then called uncontrolled ventilation. oops:

Selling controlled residential ventilation by scaring people about what could happen if they don’t have it—how did you survive in your old apartment/house without controlled residential ventilation? Who ventilated six times a day...?Two to three times even, and unfortunately in winter. Because it was necessary due to humidity in the apartment.By the way, it was a ground floor apartment renovated with external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). With free mold spots in the corners after one year.
