Hello everyone,
we are planning a prefabricated house using timber frame construction. It will have 180 sqm (1,937 sq ft) of living space with underfloor heating, and about 230 sqm (2,475 sq ft) of usable area.
So far, the offer included an air-to-water heat pump from Daikin (Altherma 3R, formerly Rotex HPSU compact Ultra).
Now it seems that this unit might not have enough capacity (?) and as an alternative (additional cost around 4,000) we have been offered a "Wolf heat pump CHC Monoblock 10/300-35".
The Daikin is available in the 4-9 kW version—would that really be insufficient for this size? And what do you think about this offer?
I have the energy-saving regulation heat protection certification and a renewable energy heat law document available, if any information from those is needed.
Thank you very much!
Best regards

I’m missing room labels, heat demand per room, over/under coverage, design temperatures, heating circuit lengths, temperature difference, etc.Attached is a new overview for one of the rooms. The heating circuit length would be 106 m (348 feet), unfortunately installed with a spacing of 15 cm (6 inches).
However, I still can’t determine the over/under coverage from this, or perhaps different terms are being used!?

this is for the ventilation...............How do you come to that conclusion? This is the heating load calculation for a room, which is probably next to the bathroom. However, this calculation is only a small part of the overall heating load calculation for the entire house.A

Simply put, it means a certain amount of heat is required. Depending on the system design, you can achieve this with a 15cm (6 inches) pipe spacing and a 45-degree Celsius (113°F) supply temperature, or with a 5cm (2 inches) pipe spacing and a 28-degree Celsius (82°F) supply temperature. Or it may not fit, resulting in over- or under-coverage.
As a summary, it should look like this or something similar:

Alternatively, it might not fit, resulting in over- or under-delivery of heat.

Thank you!
I understood the "functional principle" and the connections well enough to follow your overview accordingly.
My only issue was that when I asked for the heat load calculation, I was only given the per-room calculations shown above, and there was no information about pipe spacing or over- or under-delivery rates. That confused me again, and I thought either I’m simply not able to correctly interpret all the technical abbreviations and units, or there must be another overview with the relevant information 🙂
