Hello, I have a question and urgently need your expertise.

I am planning a new build using monolithic construction with Poroton 36.5cm (14.4 inches) blocks without an external thermal insulation composite system.

Now, instead of an air-source heat pump, I would like to install a gas heating system. Unfortunately, my architect’s 2016 energy calculation software only offers the option of a solar thermal system. This is how compliance with the energy-saving ordinance (EnEV) is demonstrated. However, for me, solar thermal is becoming outdated, and I would prefer gas combined with photovoltaic panels. Allegedly, this should be possible with a gas heating system and 10m² (108ft²) of photovoltaic without further proof…

Can anyone provide more details or a tip on where I can officially verify this?

The calculations of the various options currently show the following for our house…

1. With air-source heat pump
Primary energy demand is 36.2 kWh/m²*a and
corresponds to KfW Efficiency House 55.

2. Option: Gas + Solar + Ventilation system
Primary energy demand is 45.1 kWh/m²*a and
corresponds to KfW Efficiency House 70.

3. Option: Gas + Ventilation system
Primary energy demand is 58.10 kWh/m²*a
Efficiency house rating is 82.1% and proof of compliance not achieved.

4. Option: Gas with solar thermal
Primary energy demand is 52.9 kWh/m²*a, requirement value 53.1 — > energy-saving ordinance fulfilled.

Ideally, I would prefer just a gas system combined with a central ventilation system with heat recovery...

Where is the problem? That the program isn’t working? The solutions are available after all.

If we only use gas heating with a central ventilation system, unfortunately, the target value will not be reached.

Is the value for a subsidy or the legally required value? You can choose to forgo a subsidy if you want. We have a system that is not eligible for funding and falls outside the KfW guidelines. We simply wanted it that way and proceeded accordingly.

Search engine: "photovoltaic system energy saving ordinance," the first PDF directly.

Otherwise, when dealing with gas and controlled mechanical ventilation, you have only four adjustment options:

1) Improve insulation
2) Fine-tune the default values (the DIN standard uses outdated values that modern systems actually exceed)
3) Optimize system technology (shorter or better-insulated pipes, installation location inside heated areas, etc.)
4) Access alternative "energy sources" (e.g., shower pipe or stove)
