ᐅ New construction without solar panels and without a heat pump— is it possible?

Hello everyone,
I’m just at the very beginning of planning a house and am slowly starting to learn about the technical aspects, but I have almost no knowledge so far.
At least I already know that there is an Energy Saving Ordinance 2014 that must be followed.
Now my questions:
- Is it possible to build according to the Energy Saving Ordinance without using solar technology and a heat pump?
- Which measures would then likely be absolutely necessary?
I’m asking because I think that solar systems probably wouldn’t make sense for us due to the unfavorable orientation of the building and shading from the neighboring property.
And I’m not keen on a heat pump; we have gas available on our street and I would prefer a heating system based on that.
Basically, about our project: it’s a detached single-family house with approximately 200m2 (2,150 sq ft) of living space over 1.5 to 2 floors plus a full basement. We definitely want to have a fireplace in the living/dining area, but I have no idea if that would be helpful or rather a disadvantage?
Does anyone have literature recommendations? I’d like to study the topic in detail.
Thanks in advance!

Hello VillaMoTo – thank you very much for the information... it’s probably due to your many beautiful windows (we have fewer of those) and the fact that our attic is also planned to be heated. If you would be willing to share the data from your energy performance calculation, that would be great for me to better understand how everything works together – please send me a private message, and I will give you my email address.
PS – what is the sill height of your narrow kitchen windows? We have something very similar planned, and I am still uncertain about the height...

Hi Kazazi,
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how the figures were calculated because I don’t know either. The energy consultant from the developer calculated them, and our bank submitted the KFW application. So, our values probably wouldn’t be of much help to you.
By the way, the KFW application is also available online, and there is an example of the online confirmation as well.
