Hello
I am currently in the process of buying a house.
New build, 147 sqm (1580 sq ft) + 45 sqm (484 sq ft) basement
KfW 55 standard
Basement is heated
Basement rooms: laundry/utility room, storage room, and probably a home gym or storage room (more likely a home gym)
The standard heating in the basement is low-temperature radiators.
For an additional cost of about €2600, the entire basement can be equipped with underfloor heating.
What is better for the basement? Is the extra cost for underfloor heating worth it or not?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of both heating systems?

Does anyone know how underfloor heating works with district heating or local heating?
Does the water stay in a closed loop inside my house, with only a small amount of fresh hot water added as needed to maintain the temperature? Basically, it works the same way as other heating systems. The heat source—in the case of district heating, for example, a waste incineration plant—supplies heat to the consumer. This is done via a separate heat exchanger that transfers the heat into your own loop. Consumption is then measured with a heat meter at the transfer station. There may also be a second heat exchanger for domestic hot water.

Pwnage61919 Mar 2021 13:50We have a combined heat and power system (CHP) operated by the municipal utility company.
According to the contract, hot water at 60-80°C (140-176°F) is delivered to the transfer station, which is clear.
After that, it is probably mixed with cold water (since underfloor heating does not operate with water at 60°C), and then sent into the underfloor heating circuit.
The water remains in the underfloor heating system and new hot water is only added as needed?
The water does not pass through the underfloor heating system just once and then get completely replaced with new water?
Have I understood this correctly?

But the water doesn’t pass through the underfloor heating only once and then get completely replaced with new water?
Did I understand that correctly?No. Please read carefully ;-)District heating is completely separate from the underfloor heating. Heat is transferred via a heat exchanger.

Heat is transferred through a heat exchanger?
Sorry, I’m too dumb for that 🙂
