ᐅ Energy Saving Regulation Data (Building Volume, etc.) Are Very High – Why?

Hello,

I have received my calculations for my house, and they seem quite high?!

Building volume Ve = 875
Envelope area = 610
Usable floor area An = 280

My living area is about 230 m² (including balcony, terrace, etc.) (balcony + terrace are about 20 m² (215 sq ft))

The problem is that all the calculators I have used come up with a heating load of around 7. That sounds very high to me for a KfW40+ standard. What do you think?

The actual heated living area is only about 170 m² (1,830 sq ft). Everything else consists of utility rooms in the basement, balcony, etc.

You won’t get to a 7kW heating load that way. Then fill in the other data completely.

How many people? I assume a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery? What standard outdoor temperature?

Edit: desired average (!) temperature. So for the entire house.

EnEV heating load calculator: Location 88512 Mengen, indoor 20°C (68°F), airtightness 0.4 h⁻¹.


I have attached the calculation here. It is based on DIN EN 12833.

I’m not familiar with the exact numerical value for the ventilation. But maybe that’s where the problem lies?

With controlled residential ventilation and heat recovery, I come to just under 5 kW.

Edit: I just noticed in the fine print 2.9 kW from ventilation losses. In my view, that would mean you don’t have controlled residential ventilation?

Yes, I have. The value in the calculator is influenced only by the blower door test result.

Try again. I just ran the calculation with your data. It comes out to 5.9 kW. Even that is still too high, if you ask me (but I think it’s due to the calculator).
