ᐅ KfW 55 standard without underfloor heating

No, that’s not how I see it. The question was: Is KFW 55 possible with radiators since we don’t want underfloor heating, we simply don’t like it. Most answers just respond with a counter-question asking why on earth we wouldn’t want the wonderful, modern, and always comfortably warm underfloor heating that suits today’s lifestyle?

Exactly. But not to preach, rather to draw out the underlying motives. The goal is to determine whether it is genuinely a matter of conviction. To me, it sounds in several places like there are vague fears or prejudices involved. In that case, it might be better to stick with what grandpa was already familiar with (although: that would then be the coal stove).

I think the warning, “be careful, without underfloor heating your house will be stuck in the seventies on the real estate market,” is appropriate. At least it’s not coming across as inquisitorial preaching.

But Grandpa certainly still knew decency and politeness [emoji2]

Mobile greetings from the road

I completely agree. You come here with an opinion and a question, but instead of answering the question, people try to change your opinion. Somehow, this stands out a lot in this forum. Some people even get very annoyed when you question this. You are a healthy exception and a nice change of pace for the forum.

Larger spacing means higher supply temperatures, which equates to higher consumption.

Two systems, meaning underfloor heating and radiators, require more control and higher temperatures for the radiators, which also means higher consumption and increased investment costs.

So what’s so brilliant about investing more money and having higher operating costs compared to a nowadays typical low-temperature underfloor heating system???

P.S. “Perceived” warm feet (like with electric underfloor heating) only occur at outside temperatures above 0°C (32°F); anything else indicates a poorly adjusted heating system or a house not built to energy-saving regulations

I’ll respond like this: if someone needs a shorter response time when heating and wants the floor comfortably warm for barefoot in winter, underfloor heating is then BRILLIANT. More investment compared to regular underfloor heating is not necessarily the case (depends on the building unit). And everyone knows radiators require higher supply temperatures for heating than underfloor heating, which means higher heating costs. And when it comes to investment and heating costs, you should never build a KfW55 standard house, because the money invested in KfW55 will never be recovered, and that is definitely a FACT. I mentioned underfloor heating here as a third heating option (if it is even suitable for KfW55), maybe this could also be interesting for wutzebaer. In the end, the builder will decide for themselves.

Yes, yes, the youth. Even in the year 400, people were already complaining that the young generation was no good. I just can’t remember whether it was 400 BC or AD.
