How does wall heating work? Are the pipes of the underfloor heating just installed closer together to heat the wall? What kind of installation height is needed?

Wall heating is basically underfloor heating installed on the wall. In simple terms, it has the same construction as on the floor (just without insulation). Then you simply plaster over the pipes and, if desired, tile the surface.

There are clear videos about this on YouTube.

This is not rocket science. That’s why I’m surprised it’s not more commonly installed in new buildings. Of course, it’s also a matter of cost. The heating surface becomes even larger, and potentially the supply temperature could be lowered further(?). If the surface(s) can also be used in summer to cool the rooms, that would definitely be more efficient than cooling solely through underfloor heating.

I don’t find that surprising at all. It’s probably just a combination of “You’re the first to ask after the heating load calculation,” “I’ve never done that before,” and “I install underfloor heating the way I always have, and no one has ever complained.”

It's simply expensive. In EL, it's not very enjoyable either.

I have to pay just over €500 for my 3sqm (32 sq ft). Is that expensive or reasonable for house construction? I lost a healthy sense of money during the building process.

A mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery is more expensive than ventilating through windows, but it is still widely used (and probably makes sense) ...
