Hello everyone,
I just wanted to briefly introduce myself and say thank you.
For about a year and a half, I have been a silent reader here to gather inspiration and especially to gain more knowledge about construction technology.
Now a bit about me:
After more than a year of searching for a plot of land, I was able to purchase one from a developer who couldn’t move forward quickly with his plans.
So we found our dream plot (good location, 2500 m² (0.62 acres), slight slope, underground private spring that we have to preserve and are allowed to use).
There was an old house on the property, which we have since demolished.
There is no zoning plan, so §34 applies. During an initial informal inquiry at the building authority, almost everything we planned was rejected.
So we submitted an official preliminary building inquiry, involved the right people, and had lengthy discussions. In the end, we received a positive decision.
Therefore, there is nothing standing in the way of the building permit. The building permit should be granted within the next few weeks as there are no changes from the preliminary inquiry.
My wife (37) and I (36) want to build a Bauhaus-style villa in southern Baden-Württemberg.
It will be constructed from concrete (with core insulation) or in combination with insulated precast elements.
A lot of glass (full-glass system), textile shading, KNX, fast network both wired and wireless, strong mechanical ventilation with additional cooling coils, stainless steel pool, large cistern, and more.
The electrical planning must be 100% spot on since it’s almost impossible to make changes afterward.
Since I am friends with an architect from a larger firm, it was clear which route we would take. Such a house can basically only be realized with an architect.
I also personally know the electrician and KNX system integrator, as well as the owners and work approach of the heating, plumbing, and ventilation companies involved.
Some trades have already been contracted, and part of the equipment has already been ordered.
I’m really looking forward to getting started and to the final result. The goal is to move in by the end of 2019.
Once again, many thanks for the information I have received from you so far.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Attached is the design, though not the final version. There have been a few minor changes.
Greetings from Swabia

There is always someone who has even more than you doIn the list of the super-rich, there are more Americans than Saudis. On YouTube, there is a nice video showing a timeline from 1980 until today, displaying the rankings of the super-rich. In 1980, almost all were Americans; by the early 2000s, only a handful remained, while a few Saudis appeared. Now, however, it is mostly Americans again.

You could easily use up almost 300 liters (80 gallons) just on the tank in the D3/B3, and the vehicle wouldn’t even care. What is the author trying to say here?

The D3 is hardly audible (unfortunately), the D5 you can hear a bit, but the B-series engines sound great. It’s all about understatement, and with the workshops, the M surcharge doesn’t apply either. Understatement is important to me (it’s the only thing I allow myself). That’s what I appreciate about the (W124) E420: it’s not “recognizable” like the E500 but can’t be distinguished from the E220 on the parking lot.

The richest people in the world are not listed anywhere ;-)
But I’m afraid we are drifting a bit away from the main topic.
Am I being a killjoy by asking why many people talk about efficient houses but at the same time promote cars that are real efficiency sinners? Sure, those are great cars. But nowadays, you’re not really supposed to drive them anymore, right? This is completely neutral, honestly. But maybe it’s not the right topic for this thread since it’s totally off-topic.
Luckily, vehicles like this are still allowed on the road. A W124 even with a historic vehicle license plate.
Usually, these “larger” cars are driven less and produce lower emissions than the “everyday” cars (in absolute terms). Still, you pay much higher taxes and effectively subsidize electric and hybrid vehicles...
What is more efficient? A car with 150 hp that consumes 6 liters or a 300 hp car that uses 8 liters?
A new car is always the worst choice.
Interestingly, power is actually very important for electric cars. They don’t use fuel, after all...
My daily driver mostly runs on electric power. And when more is needed, the V8 BiTurbo wakes up 🙂

I have a 160 hp car. I can drive it using less than 6 liters of fuel. But if I push it, it easily uses three times that amount at nearly 230 km/h (143 mph). A 300 hp car only consumes about 8 liters when I drive it within a range where the 300 hp doesn’t really benefit me.
