Today, we had another energy consultation. Once again, we ended up a bit more confused than before.
Among other things, we were told about a heating option we hadn’t heard of before. It involves a cabinet that acts as a kind of heating center: it contains an air-source heat pump, equipped with a hot water storage tank and connected to a decentralized ventilation system.
The warm air is ‘distributed’ by the ventilation system. The entire cabinet costs around 20,000 € and requires very little maintenance.
To me, this sounds ideal. We could install our preferred wood flooring without underfloor heating, save a lot of money, and expect less maintenance.
I can’t find any useful information about this system online. Does anyone know about this simple setup? And what are the pros and cons?

Your passive cooling system sounds interesting

I think the concept is good. However, I wouldn’t install the system in your case. You only have one temperature zone in the house. How does it work for you in practice? You probably need different temperatures in various areas, like cooler settings in the kitchen or when holding seminars.

boxandroof16 Jun 2019 22:38OT: I checked again, with typical or many controlled residential ventilation systems with cross-flow heat exchangers, the summer bypass is not manual. This means that during the day, heat recovery runs and warm air is cooled, while at night, the cooler air is supplied directly into the house.
