Hello,
we have fallen in love with an apartment in a new development with 120 residential units. The floor plan fits our needs, and now we are focusing on the technical aspects.
According to the building specifications, it will be constructed to KfW 70 standard. At the construction site, I saw concrete blocks and insulation mats about 3 cm (1.2 inches) thick.
The heating system will be partly pellet-based and partly district heating. Triple glazing is installed.
From various sources, I have learned that a heat recovery ventilation system is considered essential nowadays. This is not included in the purchase price but could still be financed by us if I can find reliable sources confirming that it saves around 30% energy and effectively heats the rooms.
Can anyone share insights on this?
Also, I noticed in the show apartment that the cheapest doors are used... these need to be replaced with solid wood doors. Are there any standards, such as DIN norms, specifying different sound insulation classes for doors?
What else should we pay attention to?
