Slope: minimal
Roof type: gable roof
Owners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type: Swedish house, gable roof, timber frame construction, passive house, 122 m² (1313 sq ft) living area
Basement, floors: crawl space, 1.5
Number of occupants, ages: 3 (35, 34, and 5 years)
Fireplace: 1 (in the living room)
House design

One more note on orientation / building technology: A 10 kWp photovoltaic system will be installed on the south-facing roof side to provide hot water and heating.
Thank you in advance for your feedback
Thanks for your responses

Lebensprojekt2 Jul 2015 22:56Hello,
I would reconsider the utility room; the space is quite limited. Usually, the heating system, washing machine, and so on are installed there. If you want to hang laundry, it will get very cramped.
Which software was used to create the design?
Regards

My question is rather why, with limited funds, a photovoltaic system is absolutely necessary when a more economical option is clearly available.

Vogtländer3 Jul 2015 16:03Because our monthly expenses remain the same. A smaller loan due to the energy-saving regulations for the house and additional costs (gas/electricity) is just as high as a higher loan payment without these additional costs.
In the initial post, it is mentioned that we use photovoltaic panels for heating. We have a small electric heater mounted on the wall in each room. However, the main heating source will be the fireplace.

Bauexperte3 Jul 2015 16:07Sorry – but I don’t understand this response. A true Passive House is many times more expensive than a house built according to the Energy Saving Ordinance or as a KfW efficiency house 😉 So how can the monthly costs be lower?

Well, I have about €75,000 (approximately $80,000) in additional costs. That means €200 (about $215) more per month for the loan payment. I would also be paying that amount monthly for electricity and gas. In addition, because of the feed-in tariff, at the end of the year, when the purchased electricity is offset, we get back €200-400 (about $215-430), from which we still pay for water and sewage.
