ᐅ Minergie: Yes or No?

Who has tips or experience to help decide whether to choose Minergie construction or not?!

Our architect can’t give us clear guidance...
he himself chose not to include a ventilation system with heat recovery in his own house.

In my opinion, this is a financing issue. High initial investment costs and low operating costs compared to lower initial costs, and so on.

Freely following the philosophy that the rich save more easily 🙂

Minergie-P or even Passive House?
Your architect should get moving...

It is also possible to achieve the standards and all requirements without comfort ventilation if you are allergic.

Minergie is great. If you also have a good stove or wood-burning stove, you become very independent from everything.

My tip: ask someone who lives in a Minergie house.

Warning: This argument is often heard from salespeople and is not entirely accurate.

If you mean the insulation values, you can certainly reach those. However, a mechanical ventilation system includes a heat exchanger. This means the warm, used indoor air transfers its energy to the fresh outdoor air. This results in savings on heating. You obviously don’t get this saving with conventional ventilation. No matter how well you insulate. On the other hand, if your walls are made of stone (brick, calcium silicate blocks), they store heat, so when you ventilate by briefly opening windows (shock ventilation), you basically only cool down the room air. The room should warm up relatively quickly again. A mechanical ventilation system, however, continuously renews the indoor air, which also has its benefits.

Such a ventilation system can be equipped with a pollen filter, which actually benefits allergy sufferers.

The problem with ventilation systems is probably more related to dry air.

That’s exactly what I meant 🙂

Comfort ventilation is fine, as long as the residents don’t keep opening the windows wide.

The pollen filter probably won’t help. I think it’s also about dust.

Hello Nicole

Forget Minergie. Build a brick house instead. With radiant heating. That way, your energy certificate will reach an A rating. Insulated houses only get an F.

Hi Gibi

Minergie: I can’t stand that word anymore. It’s just a money-making scheme.

All insulated houses will maybe receive an energy rating of F, possibly even E. That’s why we won’t hear much about this building energy certificate / energy performance certificate soon.

Structural engineering: four bricks would be enough to support the weight of a single-family house.
