Hello,
my heating engineer suggests installing underfloor heating (roughly laid) in my new build’s basement and under the garage (a waterproof concrete structure, approx. 150m² (1615 ft²)) to keep the temperature constantly at 15°C (59°F) in order to prevent mold during the winter.
It’s not just the initial costs for the underfloor heating but also the ongoing operating costs for the heating system (heat pump).
Perhaps mold could also be prevented in other ways, for example with ventilation?
My question is: is this really necessary?

No, it is planned as a purely utility basementThen underfloor heating is not necessary, but controlled ventilation is definitely needed, or alternatively, an economical exhaust air system for the basement rooms.Regards, Bauexperte
